How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It gives space for someone to tell their story and for the therapist to reflect what matters most. This approach helps when people need acceptance and clarity about their goals.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and recurring patterns in relationships. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping, such as grounding and distress-tolerance techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She treats the plan as flexible and adjusts it as progress is made.
