Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured approach to processing distressing memories and traumatic experiences to lessen their ongoing emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging - which makes it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. Working with a licensed professional remotely can increase access to consistent support while allowing clients to engage in therapy from a convenient location.
