Louise Kenny, LCSW

Louise Kenny, LCSW, brings 25 years of counseling experience to her Connecticut practice. She approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, listening to each person's story and helping them choose a path forward. Her style emphasizes being heard, understood, and treated with respect as an unfolding person rather than a set of symptoms.

Clients seek her help for grief and loss, addiction, LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, anger, and self-esteem issues. She also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Her work includes support around codependency, divorce and separation, and forgiveness.

Her approach draws on client-centered and existential ideas that prioritize the person’s experience and meaning. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas and elements from Jungian and solution-focused work when useful. Sessions mix listening with practical steps to address immediate problems and longer reflections on life purpose and identity.

Louise often helps people facing the heavy emotions that come with loss, addiction, or caregiving. She attends to guilt, shame, and compassion fatigue while helping people identify small changes that make daily life more manageable. Her practice aims to balance emotional processing with concrete coping strategies.

Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and may expect a collaborative and steady approach.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It helps when someone needs a respectful place to be heard and to clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It offers practical techniques for changing unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during major life changes.

Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, choice, and purpose. It can be useful when people face big transitions, loss, or questions about identity and life direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process often starts with listening, trying a few strategies, and adjusting based on what helps.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on difficult days. Some approaches, like CBT, lend themselves to focused skill-building that works well in brief online conversations, while existential or client-centered work can continue over regular appointments to explore deeper issues.
