How therapy approaches work online
Wendy draws on client-centered therapy to build sessions around each person's priorities and lived experience. This approach focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most so people feel understood and heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and mood problems. DBT - dialectical behavior therapy - brings skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when intense feelings make it hard to cope.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Wendy will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when someone needs lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts or questions between sessions and suit those who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical coping and growth.
