About Wendy
Wendy Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado who brings five years of professional experience to therapy. She encourages people to see themselves as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps to handle stress and anxiety. Wendy keeps sessions direct and compassionate to make starting therapy feel manageable.
She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That often means looking at life events from new angles and noticing strengths that were overlooked.
Background and approach
She pairs this with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Wendy also draws on Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills to provide straightforward coping tools. Those approaches are useful for symptoms of depression, low self-esteem, and day-to-day overwhelm.
When trauma or intense emotions come up, she brings in strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to improve emotion regulation and grounding. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, life transitions, codependency, and issues related to aging and isolation. Sessions often focus on clear goals, skill practice, and building routines that fit real life.
Wendy aims to make therapy collaborative, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace. People who want a therapist who listens without judgment and offers concrete tools may find her approach a good match. She offers sessions in English and conducts work by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Wendy uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and find alternative, more useful ways of understanding life events. Narrative work can be helpful for grief, life transitions, and issues that feel stuck because of a repeated personal story.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone wants more purpose-driven choices. Client-Centered therapy is part of her approach too, meaning she centers each person’s priorities and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental way to explore concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Wendy will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your needs. You can try different methods and adjust what you work on as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is low, chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and manage care from different locations.
