About Wendy Fydenkevez
Wendy Fydenkevez is an Independent Clinical Social Worker and therapist who has built a career across social services and now practices as a LICSW. LICSW stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and licensure to provide psychotherapy.
Her experience includes work with a diverse range of people, including members of the LGBTQIA community. She is particularly drawn to helping individuals navigate interpersonal conflict - whether the struggle is internal or shows up with friends, partners, parents, children, colleagues, or teachers. These relationship challenges can contribute to anxiety, depression, confusion, and sometimes patterns of substance use or other behaviors a person may wish to change.
Wendy brings a collaborative, acceptance-based stance to therapy that aims to build trust and a strong therapeutic partnership. She combines that humanistic, client-centered foundation with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing to address symptoms, patterns, and practical goals. Rooted in both empathy and practical skill-building, her work supports people facing grief, relationship issues, ADHD, addiction concerns, mood disorders, stress, and other life transitions.
She often emphasizes the idea "While there's life, there's hope" and welcomes contact from those seeking a thoughtful, collaborative approach to their concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Wendy integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on acceptance and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore feelings and values in a supportive setting - it often helps with relationship strain, identity questions, and self-esteem challenges.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be particularly useful around substance use, lifestyle changes, and commitment-related concerns.
Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access care from home, and maintain continuity when routines shift, while working with a licensed professional to address concerns effectively.
