How Wendy's Approaches Work Online

Wendy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to teach skills for accepting difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. Wendy will talk with the client about needs, goals, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that match those priorities. She adjusts techniques over time based on what works for the person.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face from a chosen location. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer written check-ins, want quick support, or need to fit therapy around a busy schedule.
