Wendy Fydenkevez, LICSW

Wendy Fydenkevez is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with eight years of experience in social services and clinical work. She built a career working across diverse settings and populations, including people from the LGBTQIA community. Wendy focuses on practical problems that get in the way of daily life and relationships.

She helps people who are struggling with interpersonal conflict - with themselves or with others. That can look like fights with partners, tension with family, trouble at work or school, or internal battles that fuel anxiety and depression. These difficulties sometimes lead to sleep problems, substance use, anger, or trouble concentrating.

Wendy uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. She works in a client-centered way that prioritizes acceptance and building trust. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, mindfulness to calm the body and attention, motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change, and narrative techniques to reframe personal stories.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Wendy aims to make changes feel manageable and realistic for everyday life. She pays attention to how current problems connect to past patterns and relationships.

Wendy practices in Massachusetts and has experience helping with grief, ADHD, bipolar and depression, addictions, intimacy and sexual concerns, career stress, and midlife or aging issues. If you want a therapist who listens closely and helps you name workable steps, she encourages you to reach out.

How Wendy’s approaches work in online therapy

Wendy often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits and offer clear steps to change how someone thinks and acts. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Wendy will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. She adjusts her plan as progress is made and as needs change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can still help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, making it easier to schedule brief check-ins, or allowing people to join from a quieter place. Many people find it simpler to keep continuity of care when sessions can be arranged around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Ask about current session options when you start the matching process.
