About Wendy
Wendy Katz is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience supporting people facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful. Her approach is calm and direct, and she encourages honest conversation about what is most worrying right now.
In sessions she focuses on everyday challenges like relationship strain, trouble sleeping, low self-esteem, and career stress.
How Wendy works
She also helps people who are dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, addictions, bipolar concerns, and family-related issues. Wendy listens for what matters most and helps clients set small, useful goals. She uses approaches that emphasize present moment awareness, practical skill building, and working through painful memories when needed.
Therapy often includes learning simple coping tools, trying new behavior patterns, and practicing mindfulness exercises. These are explained in plain language and practiced together in sessions. Wendy creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and talked through.
Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs, with time to reflect and try new strategies between meetings. She meets people where they are and focuses on what can change now. Services are provided from Washington and are conducted in English.
The emphasis is on real-world improvements you can notice day to day, with steady support as you try new ways of coping and relating.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when anxiety, low mood, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and work or relationship stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. She checks in during online sessions and adjusts techniques as needed so the work feels practical and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is good for deeper conversations and practicing exercises together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for ongoing support, quick reflections, or filling time between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using ACT and CBT techniques effectively.
