About Kendee
Kendee Hamilton is a Utah LCSW with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and family-related concerns. Kendee lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses and speaks with people in English about these struggles.
Kendee frames therapy as skill-based work. She believes the brain can change and that learning specific tools helps people interrupt old patterns. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful beliefs, noticing how past experiences show up now, and practicing different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
In practice she helps people access memories and the deeper beliefs that keep them stuck. That work aims to reduce the intensity of painful thoughts and give clearer choices in everyday moments. She also addresses relationship patterns like codependency, attachment problems, communication difficulties, and issues tied to family of origin.
Kendee supports people dealing with addictions, including substance use and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive sexual behaviors. She combines attention to addictive patterns with exploration of underlying emotional triggers and life-purpose questions.
Her approach is goal-oriented and concrete. Sessions tend to involve talking through present struggles, learning coping skills, and experimenting with new behaviors between visits. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Many of the most helpful evidence-based techniques start with noticing thoughts and patterns. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful beliefs and testing new ways of thinking. This helps when guilt or shame arises from persistent negative self-judgments.Another area often used is trauma-focused work that attends to memories and the beliefs that formed around them. That work aims to lessen the intensity of painful memories and reduce how often they interrupt daily life. Both approaches are practical and oriented to changes people can try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kendee will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together she and the client check progress and adjust methods over time rather than committing to one path up front.
