How Wendy's approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions begin by following the client's lead and building goals from their own priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without harmful behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy feels useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people practice skills where they live and then discuss how those attempts went in the next session. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your needs and routine.
