How Wendy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions can keep that same emphasis by letting clients bring immediate concerns and set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift patterns; it adapts well to remote sessions where homework and skill practice are reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Because formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings.
