Kendon Ellerman, LCSW

Kendon Ellerman is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of experience supporting people through trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and big life changes. He works to make the first step less daunting and to offer steady support as people try different ways forward.

He creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions focus on practical conversation and real-life next steps. The tone is straightforward and warm so clients can talk about hard things at their own pace.

Ellerman draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress from caregiving, adoption and foster-related questions, and difficulties that come with aging and hospice transitions. He also helps people facing fertility or fatherhood concerns, workplace stress, isolation, guilt, and midlife questions.

When grief or trauma are in the room, he helps people work through memories and manage strong emotions. For career and self-esteem issues, he helps clients set achievable goals and try small experiments to rebuild confidence. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Based in Mississippi, he aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life. He supports people who want to find clearer direction, feel more capable, and handle the stresses caregiving and life changes can bring.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people manage strong emotions and memories after trauma by naming reactions and practicing coping skills. Another approach targets low self-esteem and career struggles through goal-setting, behavioral experiments, and building everyday routines.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful for the situation.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific online or in-person options are not listed in the profile. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during shorter windows like a lunch break. It can also make follow-up check-ins simpler when clients need brief support between deeper sessions.
