About Kendrick
Kendrick Burden is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He brings eight years of professional experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma-related concerns. Kendrick aims to make the start of therapy simple and approachable for families and individuals who need steady support.
He creates a warm, empathic atmosphere where clients can talk frankly about what’s happening in their lives. Kendrick uses a client-centered stance, which means he treats each person as the expert on their experience.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on labels or judgment. Kendrick blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and build calmer responses. He also offers trauma-informed methods, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, for people processing painful memories.
These approaches are applied with attention to how issues affect family life and parenting. His work often addresses common life pressures like relationship strain, career stress, addiction concerns, and coping with major changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and separation or divorce.
Kendrick aims to be practical and grounded in sessions so families can find realistic ways forward. Therapy with Kendrick may include short-term coaching or longer work depending on needs. Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules.
He works in English and provides services to people located in North Carolina.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support
Kendrick commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it supports action toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought that increase stress and then testing practical ways to shift those patterns to reduce upset.He also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the session on the person’s perspective and priorities. That approach encourages respectful listening and collaboration so the therapist and client can choose strategies that fit the family’s life and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kendrick will work together with each person or family to decide which methods to try first and adjust as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps match techniques to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities. Remote therapy also allows continued support when families face scheduling challenges or need shorter check-in conversations instead of longer office visits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
