About Kendrick

Kendrick Burden is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings eight years of clinical experience to his therapeutic work in North Carolina. He aims to make seeking help less daunting by offering a warm, empathic space where people can talk through what they are facing. Kendrick emphasizes practical steps people can take to move forward when life feels stuck.

He works in a client-centered way, meaning the person in the room is treated as the expert on their own life. Kendrick mixes that with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes. He also uses trauma-informed methods when memories or painful events interfere with daily life.

People come to him for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and ADHD. He also focuses on adoption and foster care matters, attachment and abandonment issues, and blended family challenges. Kendrick helps people manage caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the emotional fallout from life changes.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. Kendrick helps clients identify strengths, set achievable steps, and practice new ways of coping between meetings. He encourages ownership of problems alongside realistic planning for change.

Kendrick holds an LCSW and practices in North Carolina. He offers services in English and does not work with international clients at this time.

How Kendrick's approaches translate to online work

Kendrick commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take action that aligns with what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and major life shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps clients practice different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kendrick will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels most helpful. He adapts methods as the work progresses so sessions stay practical and relevant to daily life.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility for people who do better without commuting or who need appointments outside standard hours. Kendrick uses these approaches to focus on real-world skills clients can practice between meetings, whether sessions are in person or delivered remotely.
