How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Wendy uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's goals and timing, focusing on listening and building a trusting working relationship. That approach helps people set realistic steps and feel heard while working through stress, grief, or relationship concerns.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and habit change because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. Wendy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. She adapts the plan as progress is made so sessions stay focused and useful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging can be used for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
