Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and challenges related to life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and early bonds that shape current connection and trust. This approach supports work on intimacy, communication difficulties, and attachment concerns that affect personal and family relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a respectful environment where the client’s experiences guide the pace and focus of work. This way of working supports self-discovery, self-esteem, and clients navigating complex emotional concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy collaborates with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts interventions as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to engage from different locations and schedules. These options can make consistent care more accessible and allow licensed professionals and therapists to tailor the format to what works best for each individual.
