About Wendy
Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, depression, addictions, relationship problems, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She helps people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical ways to handle emotions and daily challenges. Wendy uses straightforward conversation to uncover patterns that keep someone stuck and to try different responses in real life.
Her background includes long experience across mental health settings. That time has given her familiarity with many diagnoses and complex family situations. She draws on several clinical approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
In sessions she combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She may also bring in existential questions or motivational interviewing when those fit the concern. The result is a mix of talking, practical skills, and checking what actually helps between appointments.
People often come for help with codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and aging or chronic illness challenges. Wendy supports exploration of these topics and works with clients to set manageable steps forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs space to name feelings, sort priorities, or decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can help when intense emotions or relationship patterns feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels workable. That means checking in and adjusting techniques as progress is made or circumstances change.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more frequent check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people use phone rather than video, which can be a simpler way to connect when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed.
