How Kendrick uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so people can take steps that matter despite discomfort and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions include practical exercises and skill building to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like low mood, worry, or anger.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused option Kendrick may use to process distressing memories. It aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories while helping people integrate those experiences into their lives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach first or combining elements from different models over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are good for brief check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to maintain steady progress.
