About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Colorado with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Wendy also supports those dealing with codependency concerns and related issues such as communication problems and isolation.
Wendy believes people know important parts of their own story and brings that respect into sessions. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations tend to look like setting small goals, practicing new ways of communicating, and testing what changes help day to day.
Her way of working draws on several evidence-based approaches. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. It can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas about values and committed action. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is another tool she may use when trauma memories are part of the concern.
Wendy treats things in straightforward terms. She helps people build skills for handling strong emotions, reduce patterns that keep them stuck, and practice boundary-setting. Sessions often blend talking work with concrete coping strategies and brief skill practice.
Her background also covers aging and geriatric issues, divorce and separation, disaster-related stress, and women's issues. People who prefer a collaborative, skill-focused approach tend to fit well with her style. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Wendy uses therapeutic methods in online sessions
The work often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that reflect those values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about what matters next. CBT helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep people feeling anxious or depressed and offers concrete exercises to test different ways of thinking.Wendy may also use EMDR for trauma-related memories when that is appropriate. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of those memories for some people. Whether EMDR, ACT, or CBT fits best is something she and the client decide together based on goals and what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are shaped to fit daily life and practical constraints. Confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific formats. The platform process helps match you and schedule a first appointment, and the subscription model can be canceled at any time. Many people find online meetings easier to fit around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Wendy will discuss which methods and session rhythms work best during the first meetings.
