About Wendy
Wendy Smith is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, anxious, overwhelmed by life changes, or unsure about their next steps. People turn to her for help with stress, panic, trauma, self-esteem, career questions, and finding a sense of life purpose.
She talks through immediate worries and practical steps first. That can mean learning ways to manage panic attacks, setting boundaries in strained relationships, or building routines that reduce daily stress. Sessions also address longer-term themes like shame, guilt, abandonment, and recovery from past abuse.
Wendy includes attention to parenting and perinatal concerns such as pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people affected by adoption and foster care, and those carrying caregiver stress. Communication problems, infidelity, and family conflict are other areas she helps people sort through.
Her practice mentions a Christian perspective and she respects clients' spiritual backgrounds when that matters to them. She focuses on helping people increase self-love and clearer communication so they can make decisions that fit their lives. The work is conversational and practical, with steps you can try between sessions.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How evidence-based techniques fit into online sessions
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make decisions. Cognitive approaches help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety and panic. Practical skills-focused work teaches breathing techniques, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce panic and daily stress.Trauma-informed strategies focus on stabilizing reactions and building safety with manageable steps. These methods help people reduce reactivity to reminders of past abuse and regain a sense of control over daily life. When spiritual concerns matter, she integrates a Christian perspective into discussions as requested by the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will review your goals, try techniques that fit your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process often starts with brief skills to reduce immediate distress, then shifts to deeper themes such as shame, self-love, and life purpose.

Licensed professionals can adapt activities and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
