About Kendall
Kendall Altheimer helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by life. She welcomes adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, grief, low self-esteem, and relationship or communication struggles. Her tone is direct and encouraging, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Kendall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with eight years of professional experience. She holds licenses in California and Texas and has worked with people facing caregiving strain, first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and compassion fatigue.
How Kendall works
She also supports people managing panic, obsessive thoughts, phobias, postpartum mood changes, and seasonal shifts in mood. In sessions she treats the person in front of her and looks for strengths to build on. She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and offers guidance, feedback, and tools that fit each person’s life.
Conversations are practical and focused on steps that help with everyday functioning. Kendall pays attention to the whole picture - work, relationships, sleep, and meaning. She helps people clarify goals, practice new ways of coping, and try small experiments that test what works.
Progress is measured in what people can do differently between meetings. She provides care in English and practices across a range of mood and anxiety concerns as well as life transitions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Two commonly used evidence-based techniques are problem-focused strategies and skills coaching. Problem-focused strategies break down overwhelming worries into manageable steps so people can test solutions and see what helps. Skills coaching teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood swings, sleep, and stress so clients have actions to use between sessions.Another helpful approach is grief-informed support, which helps people name and process losses while rebuilding routines and meaning. This work often combines practical steps with space to make sense of emotions and find ways to move forward.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in often and adjusting strategies if something isn’t working.
Online therapy makes those options more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent exchanges and can fit into busy days. These formats help people keep consistent work on goals while fitting sessions into real life.
