How Wendy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and values and take small committed steps toward what matters. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has become a problem.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice concrete behavior changes. CBT is often helpful for mood, sleep, eating issues, and managing anxiety. Client-centered therapy guides the pace and focus, keeping the person’s goals central and fostering a respectful, collaborative relationship.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options and help decide what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
