How Wendi uses clinical approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. It can help people who get stuck in repeated fights, who struggle with trust, or who feel overwhelmed by closeness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and building concrete skills to respond differently in tense moments.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist supports clients as they name goals and try new ways of coping rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Wendi will talk with each client about goals, habits, and preferences and will help pick methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel for appointments. Many people find that remote sessions let them practice strategies in daily life more quickly, while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
