How motivational and client-centered care works online
Wendi uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find what matters to them and build motivation for change in small steps. This approach focuses on listening, drawing out the client’s own reasons for change, and supporting plans that feel doable.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where a person’s experiences are heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes that improve daily routines. These methods can be useful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, panic, and substance-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Wendi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor the methods she uses. She aims to collaborate on small, achievable steps and to adjust the plan as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, or choose a session style that suits your energy level, such as an audio-only check-in versus a longer conversation. Licensed professionals can help match session length and frequency to what fits your routine. -
