About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and coaching. Wendy frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during therapy.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful patterns and develop small changes that fit everyday life. Wendy uses straightforward tools from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work on symptoms and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.
Wendy also draws on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when those methods match a client's needs. She will talk through what each method involves and how it might help with trauma, strong emotions, or repetitive thoughts. Sessions include clear steps and practice between meetings when helpful.
The therapist works in English and is based in Colorado. She lists experience with issues often tied to life transitions - for example divorce, caregiving and aging - and with concerns like isolation, communication problems, guilt, and life purpose. These areas appear alongside core clinical concerns such as post-traumatic stress and codependency.
To start, readers are asked to use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Wendy notes that beginning therapy takes courage and offers practical, strength-focused support to help people navigate change.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and decisions during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and functioning, and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and build better habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often applied when trauma memories keep causing strong reactions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss how different methods work and help choose options that match a client's goals, symptoms, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses, with clear steps and regular check-ins about what is or isn't helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during a workday. It also lets people continue therapy when moving within the same state, and supports using worksheets or skill practice between meetings to reinforce what is learned in sessions.
