About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker based in Colorado. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Wendy focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. She also offers coaching around self-esteem and purpose.
Wendy believes each person knows their story best and brings those strengths into sessions. She emphasizes listening first and making space for what matters to the client. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon.
In sessions she mixes techniques to match a person’s needs. That may include Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools for everyday coping. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and EMDR when those approaches fit the situation.
Wendy has worked with people facing relationship strain, isolation, aging-related concerns, and life transitions such as divorce or loss. She helps clients manage guilt, shame, and issues around self-love and identity. Practical coping strategies and short-term goals are common parts of her work.
Starting therapy with Wendy begins with a step-by-step match and scheduling process. She encourages small first steps and supports people as they try new ways of managing stress. The focus is on collaboration, steady progress, and using a person’s own strengths to guide change.
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice that looks like a therapist who asks questions, reflects what they hear, and helps the client name priorities and next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations also make it easier to try skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into session for immediate practice.
