Louise Kenny

Louise Kenny is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She offers calm, steady support while people work through grief, loss, addiction, anger, and questions tied to identity. Louise focuses on listening first and helping people find practical ways forward.

Her work centers on a person-focused, humanistic approach. She treats each person as an unfolding story and aims to understand where they are now and what they want next. Sessions often begin with hearing the full story, then identifying small, manageable steps toward change.

Louise uses methods that help people make sense of feelings and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thinking and try new patterns in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for the person to lead, while Solution-Focused ideas guide short-term goal setting.

She has spent many years supporting people through grief, hospice and end-of-life concerns, caregiving stress, and life transitions. Louise also addresses issues like codependency, relationship strain, shame, and self-esteem, helping clients break down big problems into doable actions.

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She aims to help people feel heard and to find strategies that fit their life. To start, she invites a clear conversation about goals and then co-creates a plan that can change as needs evolve.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center and focuses on listening and responding to what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, space to tell their story, and a steady ally while navigating grief or identity questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple skills to test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for addressing anger, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches can be adapted to shorter or longer sessions, and the therapist will help shape appointments to match practical needs.
