About Kendra
Kendra Wright-Baker is a Licensed Master Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Michigan with 26 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, substance use or addiction, relationship issues, and bipolar disorder. She also addresses grief, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She practices in straightforward, respectful dialogue. Sessions focus on identifying what is causing distress and developing manageable steps forward. Conversations are shaped to fit each person’s situation rather than a fixed formula.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with divorce, blended family challenges, and communication breakdowns. She has worked with clients affected by cancer, chronic pain, and caregiver responsibilities, and with those struggling with isolation or midlife transitions. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common focuses.
Kendra adapts how she talks and plans work based on what a person brings to a session. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, regulation, and coping. The emphasis is on concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
People who come for help with guilt or shame often explore past events, forgiving themselves where possible, and learning new ways to respond when old patterns show up. Her approach balances direct conversation with steady pacing so people can make changes without feeling rushed.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include practical, skill-focused approaches that help people change how they respond to stress and mood symptoms. These methods often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning new ways to cope, useful for anxiety and depression.Another common approach focuses on behavior and routine - changing daily habits, building small actions, and testing what helps reduce cravings or low mood. This kind of work can be helpful for addiction, bipolar mood management, and chronic stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.
