About Wendy
Wendy Katz is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Washington who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, career stress, trauma and abuse, and bipolar mood challenges. She writes plainly and encourages the first step toward help as a meaningful act of courage.
Wendy creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what feels hard. Sessions focus on practical skills and small, doable steps. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts methods to fit their life.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity and increase presence.
For clients processing traumatic memories, Wendy brings Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ideas into the work alongside parts-focused methods like Internal Family Systems. That combination aims to reduce distress while helping people reconnect with their values.
With 20 years of professional experience, Wendy balances structured tools with empathic listening. She invites questions and works collaboratively on goals. If you want straightforward support and practical coping strategies, she may be a good person to speak with.
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In practice that means clarifying what matters, trying small changes, and building routines that reflect those choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce distress. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Wendy will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as needed.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Many people find that talking with a licensed professional online makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, requires less travel time, and allows for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can support consistent, ongoing work on skills such as emotion regulation, exposure exercises, and value-driven actions without promising a particular delivery method.
