About Wendy
Wendy Kraszewski is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of direct therapy experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, grief, career questions, and coping with major life changes. Wendy aims to make first steps feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
She uses a client-centered approach that centers each conversation on the person's experience and priorities. Wendy also draws on acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. Sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation rather than jargon, so people can talk about what feels hard and what they want to change.
Wendy often helps people facing loss, chronic illness, or caregiver strain. She also supports those dealing with shame, guilt, attachment wounds, and communication problems. Practical concerns such as career direction, divorce and separation, and finding purpose are commonly addressed in sessions.
Her work includes coping strategies for panic and mood challenges, and approaches for processing post-traumatic stress. Wendy brings experience helping people at end of life and those navigating hospice and bereavement matters. She encourages small, concrete steps that fit into daily life.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. The emphasis is on understanding what each person needs now and building simple tools to manage stress and move toward chosen goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions are driven by the client's concerns, with the therapist reflecting and helping clarify feelings and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward personal values, which can be useful for grief, life changes, and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills for reducing panic, improving mood, and shifting unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That may mean focusing on listening and exploration at first, then adding ACT or CBT tools when the client is ready.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and support regular check-ins. It also allows brief phone or video check-ins when a shorter session is helpful or when camera-free conversation is preferred. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and how to shape sessions around your life.
