About Wendy
Wendy Ross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career strain, and depression. She also addresses concerns related to cancer, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, social anxiety, self-love, forgiveness, and women's issues.
She starts from the view that each person knows important things about their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and on building strengths that already exist. Conversations are direct and aimed at small, manageable changes that reduce daily stress and increase clarity about next steps.
Wendy draws on client-centered methods to make sessions collaborative. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing is applied when people want to find the momentum to change. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear goals and try out strategies between sessions.
Her work is goal-oriented and pragmatic. She helps people sort through decisions, improve communication, and handle transitions like separation or illness. Many sessions include actionable skills you can use the same week.
Wendy speaks English and accepts international clients. If you want to explore whether her approach fits your situation, she asks people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how to proceed.

How Wendy Uses Practical Approaches Online
Wendy commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting what you say, and working from your priorities to set goals. This approach helps when people need to sort out feelings and decide what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. CBT is useful when you want specific tools to change daily reactions and habits.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Wendy treats that choice as collaborative and adaptive. She will talk with you about what feels most relevant, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps you make progress toward your goals.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or enable a quicker check-in when problems flare. Some approaches, like CBT exercises or solution-focused planning, translate well to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings to reinforce change.
