Wendy Gatewood , LCSW

Wendy Gatewood is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Wendy focuses on women's issues alongside a broad mix of concerns like parenting, grief, and relationship struggles.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what’s hard and try new ways of coping. Sessions move at a steady pace and focus on real problems you bring in. Wendy aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions.

Her background includes long experience in community and clinical settings across multiple states. That history shapes a down-to-earth style that balances listening with targeted strategies. She draws on a few evidence-based approaches to match what each person needs.

People often seek her help for stress, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, eating worries, and body image issues. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption or foster care questions, attachment concerns, and forgiveness work. The practice addresses first responder issues and family-related challenges as well.

Wendy meets with clients using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled through an online matching and booking process. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Wendy helps people set clear goals, notice progress, and adjust the work as needed to fit their life.

Approaches that guide remote work and skill building

Wendy commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding your goals, and creating a supportive space so you can explore what matters most. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tests small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as goals change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you talk face to face. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or flexible exchanges between sessions. These options offer scheduling flexibility and let people fit therapy into busy or changing routines.
