Kenyada Wagoner

Kenyada Wagoner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and parenting strain. Kenyada also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps clients who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.

She asks direct questions about daily struggles and mood. This helps identify what gets in the way of feeling more steady. Sessions emphasize practical skills for handling intrusive thoughts, social discomfort, and mood shifts. Cognitive and behavioral strategies are used alongside attention to how emotions affect choices.

Kenyada draws on client-centered ideas to keep the work focused on each person’s concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is used when people are weighing difficult changes or feeling stuck about next steps.

In session she talks through communication patterns and relationship dynamics. This can include work on boundaries, managing jealousy, and coping with divorce or blended family pressures. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, body image, and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Her style is practical and goal-oriented. She will help set small, testable steps and adjust them as needed. People often leave sessions with specific things to try between meetings and with clearer short-term goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters most. It helps when someone is unsure about next steps and needs a steady, respectful conversation to sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and intrusive thinking because it gives practical strategies to test between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when feelings feel overwhelming or relationships are strained.

Picking the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, and other obligations. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video when needed, or scheduling that matches a break in the day. Confirm the available formats and timing to see which arrangements fit best.
