Evidence-Based Care That Fits Online Life
Richard Wendt uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients working through concerns like trauma and post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. In trauma-focused work, sessions often help clients make sense of difficult experiences, reduce overwhelm, and build steadier coping skills so day-to-day life feels more manageable. For anxiety and mood concerns, therapy can focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and practicing practical skills that translate into real situations. When relationships are the focus, therapy can emphasize clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and ways to repair disconnection in couples or family dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the process, not something clients need to have figured out before starting. Richard works collaboratively, adjusting the pace and focus based on each client’s goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that fits a busy schedule. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility. This range of options can help people stay engaged in therapy while balancing work, school, parenting, or other responsibilities.
