About Kendra
Dr. Kendra Stuke is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and parenting challenges.
Dr. Stuke works with individuals across the lifespan, including children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating life transitions. Her work often addresses trauma, abuse, and attention differences.
She uses approaches that help people tell their stories, build stronger relationships, and develop practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels most useful for each person. Dr. Stuke emphasizes a partnership with clients.
She treats people as the experts on their own lives while offering tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. The process is steady and collaborative, not rushed. She draws on methods that look at attachment, thought patterns, and present-moment awareness.
That mix helps when the issues include grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or compassion fatigue. The goal is clearer thinking and more constructive behavior in everyday situations. Her background includes long-term clinical work with young people and adults.
That experience informs how she adapts interventions to different ages and stages. People who seek practical strategies and calm, straightforward guidance often find this style helpful.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. Online sessions can focus on patterns in current relationships and help people try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test more useful ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That makes treatment practical and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing expressions. Phone sessions may fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for brief updates, skill practice, or when messaging fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
