About Louise Kenny

Louise Kenny, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a compassionate, human-centered approach to counseling after more than two decades in the field. She frames her work as a shared journey, joining people for a time to help them discover or create a more fulfilling path. Over the years she has supported individuals through grief and loss - including the loss of a pet - addiction, and challenges related to LGBTQ identity. She also helps people navigate shame, guilt, fear, relationship struggles, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse.

Louise sees each person as an unfolding story and listens closely to understand where someone is and what they seek. Her practice draws primarily from humanistic and existential theory, and she often integrates insights from work with adult children of dysfunctional families (ACOA) when relevant. While some situations call for deep exploration, she recognizes that many of the most essential needs are simple: to be heard and to matter.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process - hearing the story, clarifying client goals, and choosing a path together. Louise encourages clients to view difficult experiences as potential teachers and to use those challenges as opportunities for growth and increased self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Louise Kenny



Louise draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus of the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and respect and is helpful for people coping with grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive behaviors. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping clients face life changes, loss, and concerns about purpose in a thoughtful, values-oriented way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Louise works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors the methods she uses so the work aligns with the client’s values and desired outcomes. That collaborative stance helps clients feel more engaged and empowered in their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit counseling into busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across schedules and locations while allowing clients and licensed professionals to focus on practical, effective work together.
