About Kendra

Dr. Kendra Stuke is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) with 26 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, depression, and related life changes. She also has a long record of working with trauma, ADHD, and parenting issues in younger clients and adults.

She has worked extensively with children, teens, and young adults who face trauma, abuse, ADHD, and anxiety. She also helps adults talk through transitions and daily challenges. Her practice includes attention to grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach values the client’s own experience and strengths. Sessions look at how early relationships and family patterns affect current behavior and feelings. She uses practical tools and conversations that people can try between sessions.

Dr. Stuke draws on methods such as attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and narrative approaches. These methods are used to help people manage anxiety, review relational patterns, and practice different ways of thinking and relating.

She has worked across settings for more than two decades and brings that background to planning treatment with each person. Parents often seek her out when they notice patterns from the family they grew up in still shaping relationships, choices, or emotional reactions.

To begin, people typically complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if this is the right fit. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions

Attachment-based work looks at early relationships and how those patterns affect today's reactions. In practice this means talking about family roles and recurring interactions, then trying different ways of relating in session and noting the results. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. That approach uses short exercises to test thinking patterns and build new habits for managing anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist listens to the person's goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggests which methods to try first. This is reviewed over time and adjusted based on what helps and what feels manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions save travel time, fit into a workday break, and allow steady follow-up after an initial visit. Remote work also makes it easier to bring brief behavioral experiments from everyday life into the next session. Licensed professionals will discuss practical scheduling and the best way to structure sessions during the intake process.
