How Wendy works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and shift them toward healthier patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.
She also supports people facing grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of attention include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, ADHD, chronic illness, and body image difficulties. In sessions Wendy blends practical tools with steady support.
Conversations tend to center on real-life problems and workable strategies. Homework and simple skill practices are often part of the plan to help changes stick between meetings. People who want clear steps and warm listening often do well in her practice.
The process begins with a short intake and a plan tailored to current needs. Wendy aims to make therapy manageable and useful for everyday life.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead and shape sessions around real concerns rather than a fixed script.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. In online work this looks like talking through situations, trying short between-session exercises, and reviewing how new strategies went.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills. Those skills can be practiced in video sessions or reinforced through messages and brief check-ins between appointments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then adapt methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, frequent interactions and quick skill reminders. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work moving between meetings.
