Wendy treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths to address current problems. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and practicing new skills between meetings.

She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, intellectual disability, and stress after disasters or separation. Practical coping skills and clearer decision steps are frequent topics in her work.
Her style is direct and action oriented. Conversations move from identifying patterns to specific exercises and small experiments to test new approaches. She includes coaching elements when clients want concrete plans for change.
Wendy provides services in English and practices in Colorado. New people begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to review goals and next steps.
How Wendy uses CBT, ACT and client-centered work online
Wendy draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small changes in thinking and behavior. CBT focuses on clear tasks and experiments that you can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy provides time to reflect and have thoughts and concerns heard without pressure, which can help uncover practical next steps.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts plans based on what helps and what feels manageable in practice.
