How Wendy uses therapy approaches online

Wendy commonly combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Client-centered therapy means the session follows the person's own concerns and pace, helping them name what matters and build on strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also brings trauma-focused techniques when past events are affecting current life. That work moves at a careful, collaborative pace and focuses on reducing the ways trauma shows up day to day. Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work together; Wendy will help map options and adapt methods to each person's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking to confirm what is currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people practice skills, track progress, and apply new strategies between appointments.
