About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a Colorado licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Wendy lists life purpose and coaching among her focuses and supports people exploring what comes next after major shifts.
Her way of working treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens first and helps people name strengths they already have. Conversations move toward practical steps rather than abstract theories. Sessions are direct and focused on what matters now.
Wendy draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match a person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address anxious thoughts and behavior patterns. For trauma-related concerns she includes EMDR and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation skills are needed.
Clients can expect collaborative planning during early sessions. That means setting realistic goals and choosing strategies to test between appointments. She emphasizes small, achievable changes that feel manageable amid daily life pressures.
Wendy also has experience with issues that touch relationships and life transitions, such as divorce, family conflict, caregiving and aging concerns. She works with people dealing with isolation, guilt or shame and with those questioning their sense of purpose.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with values. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention from trying to remove painful thoughts to building a life that matters despite them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful habits, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-related memories and distress. In practice it involves structured processing of troubling memories alongside supportive coping strategies to reduce their intensity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may combine techniques from different approaches and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The original profile does not specify exact online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They also allow for quieter surroundings, shorter check-in sessions, or avoiding video when a phone conversation feels better. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to what fits the client’s daily life.
