About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Wendy also lists coaching as part of her work and notes additional focus areas such as guilt and shame, isolation, and women’s issues.
Wendy centers the client's own knowledge of their life. She treats the person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths the person already carries. Sessions are conversational and practical, with attention to skills people can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on methods like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral work, and client-centered skills. That means she may help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice small behavioral changes, and clarify personal values to guide decisions. She also uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when those tools fit the concern.
Wendy often helps people who are carrying guilt or shame about choices, identity, or past events. She supports people working through relationship strains, separation, aging questions, or coping after a disaster. She also offers help for post-traumatic stress and codependency concerns.
Sessions are offered in English from Colorado. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for guilt, shame, and life changes because it focuses on meaningful behavior rather than getting stuck in difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can use their own insights to move forward.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. She adapts the work over time based on what helps and what the person is willing to try.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Video can support exercises that use worksheets or guided practices, while phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. The goal is to make sessions workable alongside daily life while using the therapeutic methods that best match the person's needs.
