How Wendy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and encourages self-directed change through supportive conversation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. It can be useful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and learning steady coping tools.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily life to figure out which methods to try. Plans are adjusted as work continues so the fit improves over time.
