How Wendy’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client’s lead to help them make sense of feelings and choices. It is useful for building trust and clarity around emotional concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include simple exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping strategies.

Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how traumatic events affect daily life and relationships. Work is paced to what the client can manage, with practical tools to reduce distress and improve functioning over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will talk with each client about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust strategies based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to make therapy a good match for the person’s needs and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking since the listing does not specify them. Many people find that online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is tight or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. Discussing practical arrangements is part of the first scheduling steps so sessions support everyday life.
