Therapeutic approaches and online options
Wendy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that align with their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients improve connection and intimacy in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the client’s own resources, offering a respectful space to explore concerns and build self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to find what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the work remains relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, or mobility needs, and they allow therapists and registered professionals to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
