Kendrick Burden, LCSW

Kendrick Burden is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. He draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Kendrick focuses on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

Kendrick uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build values-based goals. Sessions are practical and aimed at skills people can use between meetings.

Many people come for support with trauma, addiction, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, or workplace stress. He also works with complicated situations like blended family conflict, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and grief. Kendrick pays attention to how life events affect daily routines and relationships.

In sessions he keeps language simple and steps clear. He guides people through problem-solving, emotion regulation, and communication practice. He aims to help clients leave each session with one or two specific next steps.

Kendrick offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He will work with each person to match therapy style to their goals and pace. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step connect someone to his practice.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Online CBT sessions often include practicing brief exercises, tracking reactions between sessions, and trying behavior experiments to test new ways of coping.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in those directions despite difficult feelings. In teletherapy this can mean values-based goal setting, simple mindfulness practices, and short behavioral steps you can try between meetings.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. Over video or phone the therapist provides empathic reflection and open-ended questions to help people feel understood and choose their own next moves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and he adjusts methods as progress or needs change.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for role-plays and demonstration; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, homework, and shorter focused exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between sessions.
