About Wendy

LCSW in California with seven years of clinical experience, Wendy Glass Givens focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, self esteem, and depression. She works with adults who bring emotional and practical struggles and prefers straightforward, values-aware conversations. Sessions reflect her stated Christian-informed perspective when relevant to clients.

Wendy uses practical talk therapies to help people untangle problems and build coping skills. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and offers concrete steps to try between sessions. Conversations often include discussing personal values and how those shape choices and relationships.

She frames work around present-day problems and realistic goals. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to stress, naming thoughts that worsen anxiety, or sorting grief into manageable moments. The therapist offers guidance while encouraging clients to test small changes outside sessions.

Wendy pays attention to how family roles and expectations affect daily life. That might involve clarifying boundaries, improving communication, or making decisions that match a person’s beliefs and priorities. Grief work focuses on processing loss and finding ways to remember while moving forward.

Her approach is direct and faith-informed when clients want that included. People who prefer secular care should mention that during the matching process so the therapist can plan accordingly. To begin, clients fill a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How Wendy integrates therapeutic techniques for remote care

Wendy describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with mood and stress. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors; this helps reduce anxiety and depressive patterns by changing what a person does and thinks. Another approach emphasizes skills training for coping and problem solving, teaching concrete steps to manage strong emotions and handle difficult moments. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences together and try methods that fit the person's values and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what works and what needs change. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are used, confirm current session options before booking. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins that fit a lunch break, avoiding travel time, and keeping work on skills practiced between meetings. Licensed professionals can help clients select the format and pacing that match their needs.
