Wendy Schultz , LCSW

Wendy Schultz is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. She practices from Illinois and focuses on practical skills, strength-building, and moving toward a more engaged life. Wendy frames therapy as part of overall health and welcomes honest conversations about goals and setbacks.

Her sessions are down-to-earth and goal-oriented. She offers motivation, guided exercises, and simple tools people can use between sessions. Many clients come feeling stuck, uninspired, or overwhelmed; she helps them find small steps that make daily life easier.

Wendy uses attachment-focused work to look at patterns in close relationships. She combines that with client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when people need concrete strategies for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with career stress, ADHD, and self-esteem challenges. Wendy pays attention to life transitions like divorce, adoption and foster care questions, caregiving, and aging concerns.

Sessions mix practical skill training with personal reflection. She offers exercises that can feel challenging but are designed to build confidence and create lasting change. People who want clear tools and an encouraging, no-nonsense approach tend to do well with her style.

How therapy approaches meet your needs online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. It looks at recurring ways people relate to others and helps identify new, healthier responses for intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and experiences. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps them find their own solutions and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they stay relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers several ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or mobility is a concern, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, handle quick check-ins, or choose the format that feels most comfortable while working through stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, or life transitions.
