About Kendrick

Kendrick Burden is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings eight years of clinical experience to his work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He centers care on practical, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness, and he draws on client-centered principles to help people identify strengths and make meaningful changes. Kendrick frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients are treated as experts on their own lives while he offers structure, tools, and support.

His practice emphasizes addressing relationship and family concerns, parenting and attachment issues, and health-related challenges including chronic illness and caregiver stress. Kendrick also works with those coping with loss, career shifts, impulse or substance concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Based in North Carolina, he holds the NC LCSW license (NC LCSW C012715) and provides services in English. He aims to create an empathic, approachable environment where clients can explore difficulties and build practical strategies for moving forward.

Using CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Care Online

Many clients find cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values-guided action and building psychological flexibility, which can support coping with chronic challenges and life transitions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that validates the client's experience and helps people uncover their own strengths and solutions.

Kendrick approaches selecting methods as a collaborative process. He works with each person to understand goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then together they choose strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps match interventions to real-life needs rather than assuming a single solution up front.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy with Kendrick adds practical flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographical limits. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work on skills, access timely coaching between sessions, and fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on measurable steps and meaningful change.
