About Kendrick
Kendrick Burden is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship struggles. He practices from North Carolina and brings eight years of clinical experience to his work. Kendrick aims to make seeking help straightforward and approachable for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Kendrick uses a client-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their life. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to everyday choices and routines. He often supports people dealing with parenting challenges, addiction concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Kendrick also addresses complex histories such as attachment or abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, and the emotional fallout of illness or caregiving stress.
For people who have experienced trauma, Kendrick incorporates approaches that target traumatic memories and their impact on daily functioning. He works with matters like dissociation, codependency, infidelity, and separation in ways that aim to restore a sense of control and forward motion. The process emphasizes small, manageable steps rather than sudden changes.
Kendrick offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging. He explains that therapy subscriptions vary by location and availability and can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How Kendrick blends online therapy and practical approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction and steadier habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Kendrick uses CBT to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small, concrete changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories that continue to cause distress. It can help reduce the emotional intensity of past events so daily life feels more manageable.
Kendrick treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as progress is made. The plan evolves based on what helps most in everyday life rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can fit a work break or low-bandwidth situations, and chat or text sessions are good for brief check-ins or homework support. These options let people fit care into busy schedules and keep continuity when life gets hectic.
