Kenna Sullivan, LICSW

Kenna Sullivan is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 30 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Kenna also supports carers facing compassion fatigue and the particular strains that come with ongoing caregiving.

Kenna works from the belief that each person knows their own story best. She looks for strengths a client can use when facing difficult situations. In sessions she offers steady support and practical guidance while clients decide on next steps.

Her work includes helping people cope with loss, move through relationship endings, and handle long-term illness or chronic pain. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Financial stress and work-life strain are common topics she talks through with clients.

Clients who have experienced abandonment, narcissistic behavior from others, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms will find Kenna willing to explore those patterns and their effects. She brings three decades of varied experience to conversations about mood disorders and coping strategies.

Kenna aims to empower people to make changes that matter to them. She offers a calm, respectful presence and practical steps people can try between sessions. People interested in connecting should confirm current session options before booking.

How evidence-based techniques adapt to online care

Kenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and steady support. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress through short, doable exercises and problem-solving. Another approach focuses on processing grief and trauma by creating space to tell the story, name difficult emotions, and try new ways of responding to triggers.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the persons needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people meet from a place that reduces interruptions or from a location that works better for their day. Ask about available session types when you schedule to match practical needs with therapeutic goals.
