How Wendy applies CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered work online
Wendy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and to practice small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and habits that get in the way of daily life.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity in stressful social situations. These practices are brief and can be used between sessions to manage strong feelings.
Client-Centered Therapy shapes how sessions are run - the therapist listens, reflects, and works alongside the person to set goals. This collaborative stance supports motivation and clarity about next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Wendy will help clients decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The choice of techniques is made together rather than imposed.
