About Wendy

Wendy Isaac is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience based in Massachusetts. She emphasizes finding the right match between client and therapist and builds on trusting, authentic connections as a foundation for change.

Background and approach

Wendy listens attentively and works collaboratively to identify goals, offering perspectives, practical tools, and supportive feedback as clients move through difficult chapters in their lives. Her practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered approaches and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and solution-focused work.

Wendy draws on this mix to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue, as well as areas like parenting, LGBT issues, adoption and foster care, and postpartum challenges.

She tailors the pace and focus of sessions to each person's needs while treating clients as the authors of their own story. Wendy offers a compassionate, practical style rooted in years of work in independent practice and school settings.

She partners with clients to create manageable steps toward change and supports them in applying new skills between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it offers practical exercises and skill-building that can help with anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and goals while the therapist supports and reflects their experience. These approaches lend themselves well to online work because they prioritize clear goals, concrete tools, and collaborative planning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors pacing and techniques together with clients, adapting strategies as progress and priorities evolve to ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and practice skills between meetings, supporting continuity of care for people with busy schedules or limited local options.
