Background and approach

Her background includes support for anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related struggles. She also helps with blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues tied to divorce or family of origin. Her approach is flexible and grounded in what each person needs.

Wendy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationships are the main concern. Techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy can appear when coping skills or emotional regulation are needed.

Wendy practices in Minnesota as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT. She works with clients in conversational, goal-oriented sessions that emphasize practical steps. Many people come to her wanting clearer communication, better boundaries, or help navigating a major life change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Wendy blends approaches to match each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional patterns in relationships and helps partners or family members respond more closely to each other.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Wendy works collaboratively to learn each client’s goals and preferences and then suggests which methods to try. Sessions may combine techniques so the plan fits the issue at hand rather than sticking to one single method.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, school, or caregiving. The variety of formats also allows clients to pick the way they feel most comfortable communicating while working on relationship, family, or mood concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
