About Wendy

Wendy Kraszewski is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her practice on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients navigate stress, grief, and career challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of experience as an LCSW in Florida, she emphasizes practical skills for managing anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while attending to life transitions and loss. Wendy creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to explore feelings and thoughts openly.

She combines problem-focused strategies with relational and meaning-oriented approaches to address concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, communication difficulties, and caregiver stress. Wendy also supports people facing chronic illness, end-of-life issues, mood and panic disorders, and post-traumatic stress.

Clients work collaboratively with her to set clear goals and develop coping tools that fit their day-to-day lives. Wendy encourages taking the first step toward change and offers flexible session formats to accommodate different schedules and needs.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Wendy uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and practical life challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her toolkit, offering ways to clarify values and build committed action even when difficult emotions arise. Client-centered principles guide the therapeutic relationship, prioritizing empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person's experience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Wendy works with clients to determine which combination of methods best matches their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She emphasizes shared decision making and adjusts methods over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual's needs.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent support without major disruptions to daily life, allowing clients to practice new skills and receive guidance in the contexts where they live and work.
