Background and approach
Wendy draws on approaches that teach coping tools and build emotional awareness. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and supports small changes that add up.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to focus on values and commit to actions that matter, even when feelings are hard. Wendy also uses methods to address trauma and patterns that keep coming up. She blends pacing and technique to match each person’s needs.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work covers relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem, career concerns, and bipolar mood management. Wendy practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English.
She supports people who want practical tools and a calm, nonjudgmental approach.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values; it’s useful for long-term stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and supports simple, practical changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and refining interpersonal effectiveness for strained relationships and high stress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Over time, the focus can shift from learning skills to applying them in everyday situations that matter to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people interact face to face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions use less data and can be a good option for straightforward check-ins. Live chat and text sessions are helpful for shorter updates, quick skill practice, or if someone prefers written communication. These formats make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into work, family, and other routines.
