About Louise
Louise Kenny is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She brings a calm, steady presence and focuses on listening first. Her work centers on what matters most to the person in front of her.
She has supported people dealing with grief and loss, addictions, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and anger. She also addresses LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, relationship difficulties, and coping with major life changes.
How Louise works
Louise pays attention to how family of origin issues, codependency, and guilt or shame shape a person's choices. Louise draws on client-centered principles to make sessions about the client's needs and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that get in the way.
Existential and Jungian perspectives inform deeper conversations about meaning, identity, and life purpose when clients want that work. Her practice includes support for aging and geriatric issues, cancer and hospice concerns, caregiver stress, and the emotional work around divorce and separation. She is familiar with substance use and recovery topics, and with the strains that isolation and loneliness bring.
Sessions aim to be practical and humane. Louise helps people name the problem, try small changes, and find ways to move forward. She collaborates with each person to build a plan that fits their life and values.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client's experience. It makes sessions about what the person wants to work on and helps people feel heard before deciding next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Existential therapy addresses questions of meaning, choice, and identity. This approach can be helpful for people facing loss, life transitions, or who want to explore deeper values and purpose. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caretaking, or other demands.Start online instead of waiting
