Cadyn Burnside, LCSW, LISW-CP

Cadyn Burnside is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) licensed in South Carolina, with eight years of experience in practice. He focuses on practical, everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and issues related to LGBT identity. He also addresses addictions, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, and work or career pressures.

Cadyn starts by listening to how a person describes their difficulties and what matters most to them. He uses clear, concrete conversations rather than jargon. Sessions tend to center on current struggles and on small, measurable steps people can try between meetings. He draws from several approaches to match the moment and the person’s goals.

His clinical methods include attachment-based work that looks at how relationships shape feelings and behavior, client-centered conversations that follow the person’s priorities, and skills-oriented techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness practices are added when people want ways to manage strong feelings or reduce reactivity.

Cadyn often helps people make practical changes - improving communication, managing overwhelming emotions, or planning for life transitions. He also supports work on identity, body image, and coping with chronic illness or caregiver stress. Sessions emphasize clear goals and useful tools rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
