About Wendy
Wendy Fydenkevez is an independent clinical social worker who brings eight years in social services to her therapy work. She holds an MA and practices as a LICSW in Massachusetts. Wendy is experienced supporting people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship struggles.
She often helps people who are navigating conflict with others or within themselves. That can mean tensions with partners, friends, coworkers, or parents, and the anger or low self-esteem that follows.
How Wendy works
Wendy also works with concerns such as ADHD, sleep problems, intimacy issues, bipolar disorder, and stress related to life changes. Her style is open and collaborative. She uses a client-centered stance that focuses on acceptance and building trust.
She layers this with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Wendy also draws on mindfulness practices to help people find calm and on motivational interviewing to support change when readiness is mixed. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are part of her toolbox too, helping clients make sense of patterns from the past.
People can expect straightforward conversations and concrete strategies alongside chances to reflect on deeper themes. Wendy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to start the matching process and schedule a session.

How Wendy Uses Talk Therapy Online
Wendy often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered work means she listens with acceptance and builds a trusting relationship so clients can speak openly. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness helps people learn simple attention and breathing practices to manage strong emotions and improve sleep.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods, adjust strategies, and pick tools that match the person’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, homework, or people who prefer typing. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy days while keeping focus on practical work and emotional support.
