That background informs how she supports people through grief, family transitions, and trauma-related concerns.

How Wendi’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; online sessions can use conversation and exercises to notice patterns in how people connect and feel safe with others. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and goals, using supportive listening and reflection to help someone clarify what they want to change and why. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits, then practices small, practical steps to test new ways of thinking and behaving.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Wendi collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying things, checking how they land, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue therapy when life events or location make in-person visits hard. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and conversation to the online setting so therapy can stay practical and focused on daily life.
