He brings eight years of experience as an LCSW working in outpatient settings. Kendrick uses a client-centered style that treats each person as the expert on their own life. He also draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

Kendrick helps people work on parenting challenges, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and self-esteem. He also supports coping with life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues linked to adoption or blended families. His practice includes attention to trauma, addiction, ADHD, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps clients can take between meetings. That might include small behavior changes, communication practice, or exercises to reduce distress. He emphasizes ownership of problems so people can move forward with clearer choices.

People who value a collaborative, straightforward approach may find his style helpful. Sessions are offered in English and are based in North Carolina. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Kendrick’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifies personal values to guide actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-transition issues by focusing on small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, then trying practical changes and experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress from traumatic memories by using guided processing to reduce emotional charge around those memories; it is often used for trauma- related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kendrick works with clients to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. He adapts plans over time, mixing approaches when that helps someone make steady progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow quick check-ins during a lunch break, or support continued work when in-person visits are difficult. Therapists and licensed professionals can guide you on which approaches translate well to remote sessions and what practical adjustments might help each meeting go smoothly.
