Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic experiences, helping people process painful memories and develop coping strategies to manage triggers and reduce emotional distress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of conversation that helps people explore and strengthen their own motivation for change, often useful for addressing addictions, health behavior shifts, and ambivalence about change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendi works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods over time so the chosen strategies align with what feels most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographic barriers, and maintain continuity of support. Licensed professionals can deliver many evidence-informed interventions effectively through these formats, allowing clients to access consistent care that fits their life.
