About Wendy
LICSW in Washington with 20 years of clinical experience, Wendy Katz focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, family issues, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, self-esteem, career concerns, and bipolar-related challenges. Wendy speaks English and practices from the LICSW credential she holds in Washington.
Wendy keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people talk through what feels most urgent and develop concrete skills to manage day-to-day problems. Sessions often involve learning new ways to notice thoughts, test unhelpful beliefs, and try small behavioral changes to see what helps.
Her approach draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness. Those methods are used to reduce distress, manage intense emotions, and work through difficult memories. Wendy explains techniques and practices in plain language and checks in about what is working for each person.
Wendy encourages collaboration about goals and steps in therapy. She helps people weigh options, set small goals, and track progress over time. The focus is on usable tools that fit daily life and on adjusting the plan as needs change.

How specific approaches are used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood and worry. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for handling intense feelings and relationship conflict.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods in session, and adjust what they use based on what helps. Clients are involved in deciding which techniques to continue and how to apply them between sessions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during breaks. Some formats may also let people use less bandwidth or choose shorter check-ins when that suits their schedule. Ask about the session options offered so you can pick what fits your routine and preferences.
