How Wendy works
Eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, and parenting strain are also among her areas of focus. Wendy pays attention to how abandonment, attachment, body image, codependency, and communication problems affect daily life. Her approach draws on several methods to match each person’s needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas shape how she listens and responds in sessions.
Wendy believes therapy takes courage and time. She supports clients through practical strategies and steady conversation. Her goal is to help people find more emotional balance and a clearer sense of purpose in their lives.

Approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where action matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then trying different responses to improve mood and functioning. It is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and partnership so clients can explore feelings at their own pace and build self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques as progress is made and checks in about what feels most helpful, keeping the plan flexible and client-centered.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper work, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed, and live chat or text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping focus on practical skills and steady progress.
