About Wendi
Wendi Cancilla is an LMHC with 24 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family concerns, parenting challenges, and ADHD.
Background and approach
She works with a broad range of life issues including grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career transitions, addictions, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and dissociation.
Her style blends empathy with practical, evidence-informed strategies. Wendi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused techniques, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.
She aims to help clients build clearer coping skills, resolve interpersonal difficulties, and create sustainable routines that support well-being. Practicing in Washington as an LMHC, she approaches clinical work with attention to each client’s history and present-day goals, encouraging steady progress through collaborative planning and goal-oriented interventions.
Online approaches that focus on practical change
Wendi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when working with clients online. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and ADHD-related challenges; it emphasizes skills and practice between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way and developing coping strategies to reduce current symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendi collaborates with each client to determine which methods best align with their goals, history, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance means treatment plans are flexible and responsive rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or other locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on skills-building, problem-solving, and trauma work in ways that adapt to each client’s circumstances.
