Wendy Duncan Kithcart, LCSW

Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse as well as stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, depression, and addictions. Wendy aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

She creates a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps to feel steadier day to day. That can mean learning new coping skills, trying different ways to talk with family members, or working through painful memories at a pace that feels right.

Wendy draws on client-centered therapy to keep the work grounded in each person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is making changes they want to stick with.

Her background includes supporting people with a wide range of diagnoses and life challenges, from grief and relationship struggles to chronic illness and identity concerns. Wendy emphasizes collaboration, helping clients choose approaches that fit their needs. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready.

Sessions are conducted in English and Wendy accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and experience first. It means conversations are guided by what the client wants to address and paced to their comfort. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practicing small, concrete changes to feel better. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Changes are tracked together and approaches are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant and useful.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone participate. Licensed professionals often use therapeutic tools like CBT worksheets, DBT skills coaching, and motivational interviewing exercises adapted for remote sessions to keep the work practical and focused.
