About Kendal
Kendal Lardie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of practice. She works with people facing addiction, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Sessions focus on the issue the client brings and how it links to longer-term goals.
She centers the therapeutic relationship on respect and understanding. Conversations are practical and directed by the client's priorities. Kendal uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns rather than relying on general reassurance.
In session she helps people identify what is most urgent and then uses focused strategies to address it. That can mean working on coping skills for mood shifts, looking at patterns that fuel relationship conflict, or planning steps to reduce substance use. She balances short-term problem solving with work toward broader goals.
Kendal frames progress as collaboration. She asks about goals, tracks what helps, and adjusts plans when something isn't working. Sessions are straightforward and aim to leave clients with concrete things to try between meetings.
This profile reflects work in California as an LCSW and experience across the listed concerns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to begin.

How Kendal Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
She draws on common evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, relationships, and addictive behaviors. For example, behavioral strategies focus on concrete actions and routines that reduce depressive symptoms and stabilize mood. These techniques help break cycles of avoidance and build consistent daily habits.Cognitive approaches examine unhelpful thought patterns and test alternatives. This work aims to reduce self-critical thinking and improve decision-making in relationships and recovery. Practically, clients learn to notice thoughts, try different responses, and review what changes.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Kendal will discuss goals and trial methods together, tracking what helps and adjusting the plan when needed. The initial sessions focus on what feels most urgent, then expand into skills and planning for longer-term goals.
Confirm the session formats before booking to know which options are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often design sessions so practical steps can be tried between meetings and reviewed in the next appointment.
