Kendra Wright-Baker, LMSW, LCSW

Kendra Wright-Baker is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, substance use, relationship challenges, and bipolar disorder. Kendra aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She shapes conversations and care to match each person's situation. That means listening first, then helping set clear goals and practical steps. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that's reducing overwhelming feelings, improving relationships, or managing mood shifts. Kendra also helps people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, cancer-related stress, midlife transitions, and issues that come up around blended families. She supports those dealing with codependency, guilt, shame, isolation, or the fallout from divorce and separation. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to be collaborative. She encourages clients to take small, manageable steps and to use skills between sessions to reinforce progress. Kendra is licensed in Michigan and Arizona as a clinical social worker. She focuses on practical, respectful care that fits into busy lives. If you are a carer juggling responsibilities, she can help you manage stress and find clearer ways to cope.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many of Kendra's methods are evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety by practicing breathing, thought checks, and brief behavioral experiments. Another approach centers on mood management and routine building to support people with depression and bipolar challenges, using activity scheduling and tracking to notice small improvements.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Kendra will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts plans as progress is made and invites feedback about what is or isn’t helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also lets people continue consistent work when health, caregiving, or mobility issues make in-person visits difficult. Ask about session logistics when you match so you know how to arrange appointments that suit your routine.
