Evidence-based approaches for online care
Wendy uses a mix of approaches that focus on behavior, values, and emotional regulation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take values-driven actions even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for coping with life changes, grief, and ongoing stress. Wendy also uses EMDR for processing trauma when that approach fits a person’s needs and goals; EMDR helps people work through distressing memories in a structured way.
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and how each method might help. Wendy tailors techniques over time, mixing approaches to match what’s working and what needs more attention.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when schedules and travel are a concern. Phone sessions and live chat reduce bandwidth needs and can be easier for brief check-ins. Text-based messaging supports ongoing skill practice and quick touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
