About Wendy

Wendy Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings five years of professional experience to her practice. Wendy aims to meet people where they are and to make beginning therapy a straightforward step.

Wendy believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to build on. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Conversations are meant to clarify what matters and to identify small, manageable changes.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take value-driven actions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to uncover unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative responses.

Wendy also uses Client-Centered Therapy techniques to create a supportive space for people to talk through hard topics. For clients impacted by traumatic events, she may incorporate elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools as needed.

She works with adults on a wide range of life concerns beyond mood, including coping with life changes, relationships, grief, and questions of purpose. Wendy encourages people who are curious to take the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.

How Wendy's Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people focus on what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for low mood, anxiety, and decisions about life direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests out different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stressful situations.

Wendy aims to work with each person to choose the right approach. She discusses goals and preferences and adjusts methods as needed so therapy fits the client's needs. That decision is a team effort and can change over time as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing practical needs up front helps plan a rhythm and session length that work for daily life.
