Kenya Amos , LPC, LMHC

Kenya Amos is a licensed counselor practicing in Oregon with nine years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, career transitions, and attention-related difficulties. She holds the credentials LPC and LMHC - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and brings a practical, client-focused style to her work.

Her clinical approach is informed primarily by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, while remaining flexible to integrate other methods to fit each person’s needs. Kenya emphasizes active listening and partners with clients to identify personal goals, explore patterns, and build strategies that feel manageable and meaningful. She values collaboration and respects that each person understands their life best.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, supportive environment where strengths are acknowledged and small, achievable steps are emphasized. Kenya works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns - from coping with life changes and caregiver stress to addressing trauma, codependency, or forgiveness - and supports clients in developing skills for long-term growth and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping with crisis moments. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and short-term goals to build momentum and practical steps toward change, making it useful when clients want clear, action-oriented progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenya Amos works with clients to consider their needs, preferences, and goals and tailors techniques from these models so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single framework.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and increase access to consistent care. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support and skill-building in ways that fit daily life and changing needs.
