Kendall Altheimer

Kendall Altheimer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges with motivation and self-esteem. She uses eight years of clinical experience to support people through difficult changes. Kendall emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based style that sees each person as the expert in their own story.

Kendall works with people navigating bipolar disorder, mood difficulties, and the effects of trauma and loss. She also focuses on caregiver stress, first responder issues, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. In sessions she listens for concrete patterns and practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Her approach centers on collaboration and empowerment. She guides people to identify small, achievable goals and builds on what already works in their lives. Kendall aims to help clients find clearer routines, steadier mood management, and better ways to express needs and boundaries.

Kendall holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, abbreviated as LCSW. She is licensed in California and also holds a Texas LCSW credential, and she practices from California. Sessions are conducted in English.

People who want straightforward support for anxiety, grief, low mood, or caregiving strain may find her style practical and encouraging. She frames the work as gradual change, not quick fixes, and supports each person at their own pace.

How therapy approaches translate to online support

Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and structured work. One common approach is behavioral activation, which helps people identify activities that improve mood and build a steady routine; it can be useful for depression and low motivation. Another useful style is problem-focused coping work, where the therapist and client break down stressful situations into manageable steps and practice communication or planning skills to reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kendall will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and recommend strategies that fit your goals and daily life. Together you decide what to try and adjust plans based on what helps.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a licensed professional from a distance while focusing on practical tools for coping, grief work, and mood management.
