Approaches that translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead and offering empathic listening and feedback. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving practical tools to change patterns that keep problems going.

Trauma-focused work concentrates on understanding and reducing the impact of past harm. It uses careful, paced approaches to help people manage memories, strong emotions, and triggers so they can function more comfortably day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and technique as the work unfolds so clients stay involved in decisions about their care.
