Remote care using structured, collaborative methods
Wendy delivers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so that people can work in the format that best fits their routine. Remote sessions are organized to mirror the same therapeutic focus she uses in person, with opportunities for real-time conversation, skill practice, and follow-up between meetings.She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns of thinking and to teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to identify goals, boost readiness for change, and build practical next steps. These approaches are described and adapted in plain language so that each person understands the rationale behind the techniques.
Wendy works collaboratively and tailors the mix of methods to fit individual preferences and goals. Prospective participants who prefer a structured, skill-based process with clear goals and collaborative planning may find this approach a good match. Sessions can be scheduled by choosing the preferred communication option.
