I have worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, gender issues, addictions, family systems, marital/relationship or career challenges, trauma, and ADHD. My approach combines CBT, cognitive-behavioral therapy, Gottman Therapy, DBT, and trauma-focused CBT interventions.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.
I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.
I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

I’m Kendra Compton, a dedicated social worker with over 30 years of experience empowering individuals and families to thrive. My journey began with a heartfelt desire to make a positive impact in the lives of children and adults alike. Over the decades, I’ve honed my skills as a relationship-oriented therapist who truly believes in the healing power of genuine human connection. I blend evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a warm, compassionate style. My approach is always:
- Person-Centered – I meet each client where they are, honoring their unique strengths and experiences.
- Relationship-Focused – I believe trust and rapport lay the groundwork for meaningful change.
- Strengths-Based – I highlight what’s working well and build upon those successes.
Helping others bring me endless inspiration. Their courage, curiosity, and capacity for joy remind me daily why I chose this path. I grew up in a family of athletes and am an avid sports fan—whether participating, cheering from the sidelines (mostly my son) or watching a game on TV, I see sports as a powerful metaphor for teamwork, perseverance and personal growth. These values naturally weave into my therapeutic style, encouraging clients to set goals, lean on their support systems, and celebrate every milestone.
If you’re looking for a therapist who listens deeply, cares wholeheartedly, and partners with you every step of the way, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to help you and your family write the next chapter of your story—one defined by resilience, hope, and stronger connections.
Feel free to reach out, and let’s start this journey toward healing and growth together.

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Cincinnati, OH
Searching for couples therapists in Cincinnati starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling may support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Cincinnati marriage counselors, look for therapists with training that matches your needs. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be strong fits for relationship-focused care.
In a mid-size market like Cincinnati, you may find local therapists with offices near areas like downtown, Clifton, Hyde Park, or surrounding neighborhoods, along with virtual options across Ohio. The right match also needs to work for both partners’ schedules, preferences, and goals. Review appointment availability, session format, therapy approach, and whether a therapist offers a brief phone consultation. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their work with couples and what a first session may look like.
Couples therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check whether your plan is accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can browse couples therapy in Cincinnati, Ohio, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
