Find a licensed online therapist in Pawtucket, RI

Hello, and welcome! My name is Kara Denahan and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Rhode Island. I have been providing therapy to individuals and couples for over 25 years. Currently, I am only providing therapy for individuals. I want to share a little of my development as a therapist as I think this will give you a better sense of who I am, both professionally and personally. My undergraduate degree is a Bachelor of Science in Design, specialty Photography. In my mid-thirties I decided to return to school and entered a master’s level program to study Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Rhode Island. I graduated with a Master of Science Degree from URI in 1997. In 2001 I opened up my own private practice. In 1999 I felt some dimension was lacking in both my professional and personal life and I joined a meditation group dedicated to the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist. I learned about the concept of interbeing and the benefits of mindfulness, meditation, acceptance, and cultivating inner peace. The wisdom transmitted in the teachings and the meditation practice deepened and expanded my capacity to connect and engage with my clients at a more satisfying level. In 2009 I pursued training in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), developed by Richard Schwartz, Ph.D. I had been intrigued by this model of therapy for many years. IFS regards each person as a collection of parts ("a part of me wants to exercise, a part of me doesn’t") that interact continuously. The intention is to accept our inner world through connection with our True Self, which is wise and kind and non-judgmental. When we truly accept ourselves, even the parts of ourselves we might consider "flawed’", we experience less internal conflict and more internal harmony. When we are able to accept our own flaws, we then find it easier to accept others and their flaws, and we experience more external harmony. Completing Level I (2010) and Level II (2012) of the intense IFS trainings had a profoundly positive effect on me. I am glad to be able to share these teachings with my clients. Truly accepting who we are is the best gift we can give ourselves. There have been many other influential teachers in my life. Most recently, I am intrigued by Polyvagal Theory developed by Stephen Porges, Ph.D, and its practical applications as presented by Deb Dana, LCSW. Polyvagal Theory explains the underlying cause of most physical and mental disorders is a chronically dysregulated nervous system in a state of threat. I am also in awe of Daniel Siegel, M.D., a neuropsychiatrist who has developed Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), a therapy that beautifully integrates neuroscience, attachment theory and meditation practice. Rick Hanson, Ph.D, also blends neuroscience with ancient wisdom traditions and offers practical, simple, and effective techniques for increased personal well-being. Martha Beck is another source of inspiration who masterfully weaves humor with wisdom and has the gift of making the metaphysical credible. I am forever grateful to the teachings of Brene Brown for so clearly delineating the difference between shame and guilt, and for being an advocate for vulnerability, under the right conditions. I pass on to my clients the knowledge I have integrated from these wise and kind masters. What I know is that there is not a one size fits all form of therapy. What works for you may not work for your friend. There are many doors to move through in life, and I make it my mission to help you find the best door for you to step through to a more fulfilling life. I know if you follow that which inspires and uplifts you then you will find your way. It is my joy and honor to be with you as you discover and uncover the unlimited potential that is you at your essence. What I have to offer you is years of accumulated wisdom and the ability to be fully present, expertise gained through following my heart to that which inspires and uplifts me. I hope to inspire you. Please be aware that I prefer live audio or video sessions.

​My name is Kellie Jondro. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and Rhode Island. I am passionate about helping people build coping skills and resiliency to manage life’s stressors. I have been a mental health professional for 30+ years. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Social Work from the University of South Florida. I have worked as an individual & family therapist, a respite foster care parent, a crisis counselor, a home health therapist, and a dialysis clinic social worker. I believe people have an innate capacity for change. Often, simply having an empathetic, caring, non-judgmental, neutral third party to vent to is golden. Adding new, positive insights and small, solution-focused actions to one’s day to day routine can yield lasting and meaningful results. I believe in the restorative power of the great outdoors. My husband and I enjoy camping, live music events, and spending time with our young adult children. I also work part time as a substitute teacher with special needs children. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional circumstances. My practice uses a holistic approach that helps to address challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. This includes therapeutic strategies and problem solving while also exploring the mind-body connection and building foundations for meaning. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping clients develop self-acceptance, improve communication, overcome anxiety and rediscover their life purpose. The skills I find most helpful were developed through my own experience with depression and burn out. My process with holism helped me see that there is a life beyond coping that offers more options toward resilience, growth, and purposeful connection. In our work together, I prioritize creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop coping skills, and move towards a more fulfilling life. My goal is to empower you to understand yourself more deeply and recognize your wholeness. From there it is easier to make positive, sustainable changes that reflect the person you really are.
