Approaches for Online Therapy and Finding the Right Fit

Wendy Katz incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her work in ways that translate well to online formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take committed actions toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing symptoms of depression and anxiety and improving day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Wendy collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. As a licensed professional she listens to client concerns, discusses possible strategies, and adapts the work over time so therapy remains aligned with the client's priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home. Wendy integrates her clinical approaches into these formats to help clients build skills, process challenges, and make steady progress without sacrificing convenience.
