About Wendy

Wendy Richmond is a Colorado-licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of professional experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She centers her work on collaboration, treating each person as the expert of their own story while drawing on evidence-based methods to address stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, depression, and transitions in life.

Wendy combines practical strategies with a strengths-focused perspective to help clients build skills and find meaningful shifts in how they cope and relate to challenges. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness-oriented tools, along with trauma-informed interventions when appropriate.

Wendy also draws from client-centered principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where goals and values guide the work. She has additional experience addressing issues such as aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, communication problems, disaster-related adjustment, divorce and separation, family difficulties, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions reflect a supportive, coaching-minded stance that aims to empower clients to move toward greater clarity and resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Wendy regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression, then works with them to build practical skills for change. She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning acceptance and mindfulness strategies to reduce the impact of painful thoughts and feelings. When addressing trauma-related concerns, her work is informed by client-centered principles that prioritize the client's pace and perspective.

Determining the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens together. Wendy collaborates with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time so the work fits the client's needs and values.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow for continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These formats make it possible to access therapeutic tools and ongoing support from licensed professionals while adapting communication style to what feels most helpful for the client.
