About Wendy
Wendy Glass Givens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California, with seven years of practice. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and family-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and reflect her stated Christian-informed perspective.
Wendy focuses on practical coping strategies. She helps people identify small changes they can make day to day. Conversations cover emotions, patterns in relationships, and next steps for managing hard moments.
Her style is straightforward and relational. She listens for what matters most to each person and then suggests concrete techniques to try between sessions. That may include tracking moods, practicing new ways to talk with relatives, or short behavioral experiments to test what helps.
In addition to talking, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms of anxiety and depression. She also supports people as they process grief and examine self-esteem with goal-focused steps. The Christian-informed perspective is noted for clients who want spirituality considered in their care.
Wendy’s practice balances life demands with clinical work. She aims to make sessions relevant to work, family, finances, and community pressures. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online workflow.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online work fits
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common symptoms. One approach focuses on helping people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active. That work often includes simple behavioral tasks and tracking moods to see what changes help. Another approach centers on grief processing and restoration of daily routines. This involves making space to tell the story of loss, identifying values that matter, and trying small steps to regain normal activities. Those methods can help reduce overwhelm and rebuild a sense of forward motion. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what’s helping and adjusts plans as sessions progress. Confirm the current session options before booking. The site workflow asks you to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Ask about session length and timing when you schedule so sessions can fit routine, work breaks, and family commitments.CAreas of focus
