Background and approach
Wendy uses practical methods that help people notice patterns and change behaviors. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Client-Centered techniques to address negative thoughts and build healthier responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools may be used for mood regulation and distress tolerance where needed.
Her background covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, body image, and first responder issues. She also supports people working through adoption and foster care experiences, attachment wounds, and forgiveness work.

Approaches for online change and emotional regulation
Wendy commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. DBT provides practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions person-focused and respectful of each individual's pace. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Wendy aims to match methods to a person's needs rather than using one fixed style.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain steady progress over time.
