About Kendra
Dr. Kendra Corning focuses on people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She works with individuals coping with depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, and issues related to identity and trauma.
She practices in North Carolina as a licensed psychologist and brings 12 years of professional experience to each appointment. Her approach starts with listening. She treats people with respect and without judgment.
Background and approach
Together, she and the client shape short-term goals and practical steps that fit daily life. Homework is often suggested to help use skills between sessions. Dr.
Corning uses a blend of methods to match what each person needs. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior techniques, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to manage strong emotions, reduce unhelpful thinking, and improve coping during stress or grief.
She has experience supporting people with long-term or complex diagnoses and with a wide range of life stressors, including caregiver strain, chronic illness, communication problems, and loss. Her work also covers issues like dissociation, control problems, and guilt or shame. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative.
Dr. Corning helps people build skills, notice patterns that get in the way, and try small changes that can add up over time. The therapy process is framed as a team effort toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that line up with personal values. This approach can help with anger, anxiety, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed depression, insomnia, or unhelpful reactions to stress. It often includes exercises and short homework tasks between sessions.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to find approaches that fit your daily routine and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations of skills. Phone sessions work when video is not practical or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter touchpoints during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
