How Wendy Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions and teaches strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.

Wendy works with each person to find the right mix of approaches. She treats treatment choice as a conversation and adjusts plans based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The aim is collaboration so clients feel involved in deciding what to try next.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules because it can cut down travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can focus on practical skills practice, homework between meetings, and brief problem-solving when life gets hectic.
