About Kendrick
Kendrick Burden is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) 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 and intimacy-related issues, anger, career struggles, and depression. Kendrick speaks English and does not accept international clients.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations. Kendrick uses client-centered methods to help people notice how their self-talk shapes feelings. He also draws on cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness techniques to develop everyday coping skills. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small goals to test outside the session.
Kendrick has a background helping people adjust after major life changes and losses. He also supports those facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment or abandonment questions, blended family dynamics, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care. Addiction, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns are within his scope of practice.
When trauma is part of the picture, Kendrick may integrate approaches aimed at processing difficult memories. He blends talk-based work with concrete strategies to reduce reactivity and improve relationships. He encourages clients to recognize strengths they already use and build from there.
Sessions are pragmatic and paced to the person. Kendrick emphasizes taking ownership of problems by identifying what is working and what to try next. He asks clients to set small experiments and reflect on what changes between sessions.
How sessions work
How Kendrick’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that line up with what matters. It helps with anger, avoidance, and problems that come from stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable pieces to practice new responses and reduce reactivity. This is useful for workplace frustration, relationship tension, and anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that aims to help people process upsetting memories; when used it pairs memory processing with structured steps to reduce the emotional charge of those memories.Kendrick treats deciding on an approach as a team effort. He will discuss how ACT, CBT, or trauma-focused methods may fit the issues you bring. Together you set goals, try an approach, and adjust if something does not feel right. That collaborative stance helps people find what makes sense for their daily life.
The biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. For many people these practical features help them keep therapy consistent while they practice new ways of responding to anger and stress.
