About Louise

Louise Kenny is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people through hard life moments. She joins clients as they work out grief, addiction, shame, and changes in relationships. Her style is calm and listening-first.

Louise aims to help people feel seen and heard as they decide on a next step. She frames problems as parts of a person’s story rather than fixed labels. That means sessions focus on understanding what matters now and what a person wants next.

Background and approach

Louise draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, and she mixes practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches when helpful. Louise often supports people coping with life transitions, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and end-of-life issues. She also helps with loneliness, self-esteem, codependency, and addictions.

Her background includes many years working with LGBT clients and those facing bereavement and loss. In sessions she listens for what the client most needs and collaborates on simple, realistic steps. Some people use talk-based reflection.

Others prefer specific behavioral experiments or short solution-focused plans. Sessions are paced to match each person’s readiness and goals. Clients in Connecticut may work with her remotely using video, phone, chat, or messaging.

Louise holds a Florida LCSW and a Connecticut LCSW and conducts sessions in English. Her approach centers on helping people notice what their current struggle might teach them and how to move forward.

How Louise’s Approaches Translate Online

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and purpose in life. Online sessions can use conversation to clarify values and make decisions when someone faces loss or big changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard and understood; this approach helps people build self-trust through steady, empathic listening during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing practical changes; it can be useful for anger, anxiety, addiction-related behaviors, and self-esteem work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. They can use conversational, meaning-focused work or shift to short goal-oriented exercises based on what the client wants to try.

Online formats offer practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around caregiving, work, or medical needs.
