Kendra Covington, LMFT

Kendra Covington is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Iowa with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who are wrestling with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. She also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, ADHD, and caregiver fatigue.

Her sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. She listens to what is happening now, then helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain. That can mean learning new ways to communicate, managing strong impulses, or shifting how someone responds to stress and shame.

Kendra uses several well-known approaches to guide the work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and act on them despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors so clients can test and change unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based methods help with relationship patterns that began in family history.

People who come in for anger concerns often learn skills to pause, reduce impulsive reactions, and express frustration without escalating. Others focus on repairing trust after infidelity, handling blended family tensions, or coping with losses and life changes. Sessions aim for concrete tools you can use between meetings.

Her style is direct and practical, with attention to context and history. Kendra asks about goals up front and adjusts the plan as progress and obstacles appear. To begin, clients follow an intake process and schedule a first session through the practice's matching system.
