Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on problems people actually face. Kendrick helps clients identify strengths and take ownership of the next steps in their lives. He talks through coping strategies for stress, anxiety, grief, and major transitions.

He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, chronic health problems, attachment and blended family issues, and coping after loss or separation.

Kendrick uses evidence-informed tools like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and mindfulness techniques. His goal is to help people build practical habits, clearer thinking, and steadier emotional responses. If someone wants a calm, direct approach to life changes, Kendrick aims to make the work manageable and useful.

How Kendrick's approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It often focuses on actions someone can start doing right away to feel more in control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into steps and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that pairs guided recall with specific processing methods to reduce distress tied to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kendrick will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. Then he and the client decide which methods to try and adjust as progress is made. This keeps therapy collaborative and tailored to real needs.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know which options are used for appointments. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity of care during life transitions, letting people keep momentum when routines change.
