How Wendy’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online work can help people notice patterns in relationships and practice different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and impulsivity and translates well to video and text tools. Motivational Interviewing is a short, goal-focused approach that helps a person find internal reasons to change and strengthen motivation for next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Wendy will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative decision guides how sessions are structured and what skills are practiced between meetings.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets someone write through thoughts between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and make it easier to build consistency in care.
