About Wendy
She often works with people who feel ambivalent about their goals, uninspired, unfulfilled, or who are navigating a life crisis. Wendy blends therapeutic support with creative exercises to help clients resolve immediate concerns while learning meaningful, easy-to-implement skills that promote longer-term wellbeing. Her work emphasizes motivation, challenging yet doable practices, and encouragement as clients commit to the changes they want to make.
Wendy creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored freely. She invites clients to take a courageous first step toward their goals and offers guided tools and accountability to help them discover a more engaged, purposeful, and satisfying life. Beginning therapy with Wendy is framed as an intentional investment in living one’s values and dreams.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Wendy Schultz draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape online treatment. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current reactions and connections, which can be useful for relationship challenges and intimacy-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth, creating a supportive environment for exploring values, self-esteem, and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, tailoring techniques and exercises so the plan fits the person rather than the person fitting the plan. That collaboration helps shape measurable steps and realistic practices to use between sessions.
Online therapy with Wendy can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while allowing clients to access therapeutic support from locations that work best for them.
