How Kendrick Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact and build new, less upsetting associations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendrick treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, preferences, and current needs. He may combine techniques so sessions match what someone wants to address most urgently.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy days, since sessions can reduce travel time or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online sessions can also make it simpler to try techniques during a normal day and bring real-life examples into conversation. Kendrick aims to make remote care practical and focused on steps people can use between meetings.
