About Kendrick
Kendrick Burden is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with eight years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, addictions, relationship and family problems, and career or life transitions.
Kendrick uses straightforward conversation to help people notice how they talk to themselves about what happened. He draws on client-centered work so the person in therapy guides the priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and build different habits.
Sessions tend to focus on practical next steps. That might mean learning short skills for stress and anxiety, mapping a plan around parenting or caregiving responsibilities, or processing traumatic memories in a paced way. Kendrick also works with people coping with chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the complicated feelings that follow separation or divorce.
He describes therapy as collaborative and action-oriented. Conversations include attention to everyday demands - work, money, health, and relationships - and how those pressures affect mood and behavior. Kendrick aims to make changes that fit a person's life rather than adding extra tasks.
People who choose him often want clear strategies along with time to talk through hard experiences. He combines acceptance and commitment ideas, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-focused methods to help clients move through immediate problems and build longer-term coping.
BHow sessions work
How Kendrick’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing values-based actions. Online ACT sessions often involve short exercises and practice tasks to try between meetings, which helps with stress, anxiety, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change patterns. In virtual sessions CBT typically uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and clear homework to track progress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories through structured steps; when used online it is paced carefully and includes grounding and stabilization work before memory processing.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendrick will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That means discussing what feels manageable and adjusting techniques as needed rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the profile does not list them. Many people find remote sessions reduce travel time, make it easier to fit appointments around work or caregiving, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is all that’s needed. The focus remains on clear skills, steps to manage symptoms, and planning actions that work within a person’s daily routine.
