About Kendrick

Kendrick Burden is an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Kendrick also supports people coping with trauma, grief, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, and addictions.

He uses straightforward, person-focused approaches in sessions. Kendrick asks questions that help people notice how they talk to themselves about events. He combines client-centered work with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help reduce reactivity and build clearer choices.

In sessions he helps people name patterns that feed anger and frustration. He looks at thoughts, behaviors, and small changes that can alter how someone responds under pressure. He also brings EMDR when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life.

Kendrick pays attention to problems that often sit behind anger - for example abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiving stress, chronic illness, or breakup and divorce. He aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to help people take responsibility for what they can change.

People meet him to manage work frustration, stop resenting close relationships, or find new ways to set limits. Sessions focus on clear skills, practical steps, and learning to act in line with personal values. He conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits

Kendrick draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can discover their own answers. CBT targets unhelpful thoughts and patterns, teaching practical techniques to reduce reactivity and change behavior.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with the person about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That joint problem-solving guides whether a focus stays on values, on skill-building, or on processing trauma memories with approaches like EMDR when needed.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or avoid travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that focus on skill practice, thought work, or processing memories while keeping the same therapist across weeks.
