About Kendrick
Kendrick Burden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, addiction, and issues around intimacy. Kendrick also helps people affected by ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
He uses clear, practical conversation in sessions. Kendrick relies on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, EMDR, and mindfulness practices to address difficult memories and unhelpful habits. Sessions focus on identifying what patterns from the family someone grew up in still influence daily life now.
Kendrick describes therapy as a place to talk through painful or confusing feelings and to practice different ways of responding. He asks direct questions, helps people notice repeated roles or expectations learned at home, and supports them in trying new behaviors. The therapist encourages responsibility for choices without assigning blame for the past.
When concerns involve adoption, abandonment, attachment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or separation, Kendrick brings those topics into what is discussed in session. He also addresses communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and coping after loss.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on concrete steps. Kendrick will work with a client to set goals, try skills between meetings, and review what is or isn't working as therapy progresses.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and getting unstuck from repeated reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. CB T often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories by pairing focused attention and guided processing to reduce the intensity of upsetting recollections and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. He reviews what people have tried before and adjusts the plan as sessions progress so the focus stays relevant to daily life.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the therapist's biography does not list specific options here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. If audio-only or video meetings are possible with this clinician, those formats can help people connect from home, manage camera time, or choose quieter surroundings during a break at work. Ask about the exact session formats offered when scheduling.
