About Kendrick
Kendrick Burden is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, addictions, relationships, family issues, intimacy-related struggles, anger, career challenges, and depression. Kendrick also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Kendrick takes a straightforward, person-centered approach in session. He listens first, then helps people name patterns and try small changes. Sessions often focus on practical steps - clarifying values, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and building everyday skills to manage emotions. He draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused work when useful.
Clients can expect a mix of conversation and hands-on strategies. Kendrick uses exercises to practice between meetings and checks progress regularly. He also integrates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) elements for trauma when appropriate.
Many people come with parenting strain, blended family tensions, or communication breakdowns at home. Kendrick helps people sort those problems into doable next steps. He also addresses abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care experiences, and caregiving stress.
Kendrick’s background includes work in community outpatient mental health settings. That experience shaped his focus on practical tools that fit into busy lives. If someone needs help deciding what to try first, he works collaboratively to pick clear, realistic goals.
How sessions work
How Kendrick uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values. In straightforward terms, ACT uses exercises and small commitments to reduce avoidance and build a life that matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and adjust behaviors that keep problems going. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works through distressing memories using guided attention and processing steps to reduce their emotional charge.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. Kendrick will listen to the problem, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and Kendrick choose strategies and check whether they are helping, then adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing to travel to an appointment, or avoiding heavy commuting. Different approaches lend themselves to different session shapes: ACT and CBT often use short skill-building tasks between meetings, while EMDR sessions may require dedicated time for processing. Kendrick will discuss what works practically and set a plan that fits day-to-day life.
