About Wendy
Wendy Fydenkevez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with anger, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, grief, addiction, and life changes. Wendy also supports people facing concerns related to ADHD, intimacy, self-esteem, career shifts, and sleeping problems.
Wendy’s background is in social services and that experience shaped her approach to therapy. She has worked with diverse people, including members of the LGBTQIA community. Her time in different roles gave her practical experience with interpersonal conflict and its ripple effects on day-to-day life.
In sessions she focuses on interpersonal problems and how they show up in behavior and mood. She helps people talk through conflicts with partners, colleagues, family members, and others. Many clients come when anxiety, depression, or substance use grow out of ongoing relationship stress.
Her work blends a person-centered stance with structured techniques. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and collaboration, and draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address patterns of thinking and behavior. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and narrative work when appropriate.
Wendy aims to help people sort through practical choices and stronger communication options. She works with each person to set goals, try different strategies, and notice what changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Wendy draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize building a cooperative relationship. This means sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the person, and working together to set goals and try different strategies.
Mindfulness techniques appear alongside these approaches to help people notice strong emotions and respond differently. Mindfulness can be helpful for managing intense feelings and reducing reactivity in everyday situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Wendy will help determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences through discussion and small experiments. The therapist and client decide collaboratively what to try and adjust as needed.
