Wendy Richmond, LCSW, CSW

Wendy Richmond is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with five years of professional experience. She centers the work on each person's own knowledge of their life and builds on the strengths clients already bring. Wendy aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and recognizes that starting can take real courage.

In sessions she focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coaching for personal goals. An additional focus includes aging and geriatric issues and concerns that often come with later life.

Wendy uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor work to each person. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when those methods fit a client’s needs. Conversations are meant to be practical and grounded, with tools that can be used between sessions.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She helps people notice what matters most, set small steps, and practice new ways of responding to stress or difficult memories. Sessions move at a pace the client chooses, with a focus on real-life changes.

Wendy practices in Colorado and conducts work in English. If you want to try therapy, she asks that you complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps in line with what matters to them. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It tends to be skill-based and practical. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, addresses distress linked to traumatic memories by using structured processing and guided recall when appropriate.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that match those aims. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, with tools introduced at a pace the client chooses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports continuity of care after major life transitions or moves. Licensed professionals can adjust activities, worksheets, and exposure exercises so they work in the session setup you choose.
