About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado. She brings five years of practice as a social worker and clinician. Wendy focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and intentional. Wendy believes each person knows their own story best. She builds on clients' strengths and life experience to set practical goals.
Sessions typically focus on clear skills and short-term steps that people can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with depression, life changes, and coping after loss or difficult events. Wendy also supports people facing isolation, guilt and shame, codependency, and questions about life purpose. She has experience addressing issues that arise with aging and intellectual disability.
Wendy uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on acceptance-based methods, cognitive techniques, and emotion regulation strategies. When trauma is part of the story she may incorporate trauma-focused methods that help process difficult memories.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Wendy works with subscription-based scheduling that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
Approaches used remotely and what they offer
Wendy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions toward those values even when difficult thoughts appear. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on your perspective and supports emotional exploration at your pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so you can test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. Together you can try methods and adjust the plan based on what makes the most progress for you.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
