About Kendra

Dr. Kendra Stuke is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) with 26 years of professional experience. She supports adults and younger clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger. She also works with people handling trauma and abuse, ADHD, and intimacy-related or attachment challenges.

Her work has included children, youth, teens, and young adults as well as adults moving through life transitions. She uses a mix of straightforward conversation, practical tools, and reflective listening. Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing reactivity, improving communication, or managing anxiety symptoms in day-to-day life.

Dr. Stuke draws on approaches that include attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and narrative work. That blend lets her address emotional patterns as they show up in relationships, parenting, and self-regulation. She explains concepts plainly and practices skills together with each person in session.

When trauma or childhood wounds are present, she brings developmentally appropriate methods to help people tell their story and regain a sense of control. For younger clients she incorporates play-based strategies to help express feelings that may be hard to say in words.

People who come for help learn specific ways to notice triggers, choose a different response, and rebuild trust in relationships. Sessions are focused and practical, with attention to what can be used between meetings to make small changes that add up.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Dr. Stuke uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills for managing anger, anxiety, and low mood. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships influence current reactions and to build steadier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one path fits everyone.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, make shorter check-ins possible, and remove travel time. If needed, sessions can focus on brief skills practice, on reflective narrative work, or on building step-by-step plans to manage reactivity and communication in relationships.
