About Louise
Louise Kenny is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience guiding people through major life shifts. She approaches therapy as a companion on a person's path, listening carefully and helping clients choose directions that feel meaningful. Her style is grounded and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel heard and seen.
Louise draws on Jungian ideas alongside client-centered and existential approaches. She pays attention to personal stories, recurring patterns, and the symbols people use to make sense of loss, identity, and purpose.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on what matters most now and what clients want to change. She has worked with people facing grief and loss, addiction, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse. She also helps those dealing with relationship struggles, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life purpose questions.
Louise attends to issues that arise from family of origin, codependency, and caregiving stress. Her work includes support around aging, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and caregiver strain. She also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, and isolation or loneliness.
Clients who identify as LGBT have been a focus in her practice. Louise blends practical tools with reflective conversation. That can mean skill-building for coping and behavior change, brief solution-focused steps, or deeper exploration of meaning and identity.
The aim is to help the person move toward greater self-love and a clearer sense of direction.

Approaches That Guide Online Work
Jungian-informed work focuses on personal stories, symbols, and recurring patterns. It can help people understand inner conflicts, meaning, and identity in ways that change how they relate to loss or purpose.Client-centered therapy emphasizes being listened to without judgment. It helps people feel seen and heard, which often opens space for choices and small shifts in daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Louise will work with each person to decide whether reflective Jungian work, empathic client-centered support, or more structured CBT fits best. Goals, preferences, and what feels manageable guide that decision.
Online therapy lets clients access care in flexible ways. Video calls are closest to a traditional session and work well for longer conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, brief problem-solving, or ongoing connection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different life rhythms.
