About Kay
Kay Endres is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, unsure about work, or wrestling with self-esteem and relationship concerns. Kay keeps language simple and meetings straightforward so people can focus on what matters next.
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what they are feeling and thinking. Conversations focus on practical steps and next actions rather than complex jargon. The therapist encourages small experiments and realistic goals to build confidence over time.
Kay draws on long experience supporting people through life transitions such as divorce, workplace change, and shifts in life purpose. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges particular to women. Sessions look at how daily habits and choices relate to larger goals at work and in life.
Her approach centers on collaboration. Clients and Kay set priorities together and track progress in clear, concrete ways. She emphasizes useful tools clients can try between meetings to keep moving forward.
Kay is licensed in Oregon and conducts sessions in English. People interested in beginning work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The process is designed to help people take the first practical steps toward change.
Approaches that help with work and life stress
Kay uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and increase confidence. This helps when worry, self-doubt, or workplace stress are getting in the way of daily life.Another approach emphasizes behavioral change through small experiments. Clients set short, achievable goals and review what worked and what didn’t, which is useful for building motivation, handling life transitions, and improving communication skills.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kay collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust methods over time to keep progress steady and practical.
