About Wendy
Wendy Fydenkevez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with eight years of experience. She has worked across social services and now practices independently as a clinical social worker. Her background includes work with people from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQIA community.
Wendy focuses on interpersonal conflict and the fallout that can follow. She helps adults who are dealing with conflict with partners, friends, parents, or colleagues. She also supports people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, substance use issues, and changes in life circumstances.
Her style leans toward acceptance and collaboration. Wendy aims to build trust and work together on concrete steps. She uses evidence-based techniques alongside longer-term ways of understanding patterns in relationships and behavior.
In sessions she mixes client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing. She draws on mindfulness and narrative approaches when they fit a client's goals. That means practical skills for managing mood and behavior alongside talking through how past experiences shape current reactions.
Wendy asks questions, listens closely, and helps people identify small, workable changes. She often helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and test new ways of responding. The result is a practical, steady way to address relationship stress, addiction concerns, mood symptoms, and transitions.
How sessions work
Online sessions and therapeutic approaches
Wendy uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in many cases. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and acceptance to help people feel understood and to build trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily responses without judgment. Mindfulness can support stress management, reduce reactivity, and make behavioral changes easier to practice between sessions. Choosing which approaches to use is a collaborative process; Wendy discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses.
