About Wendy

Wendy Fydenkevez is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with eight years of experience in social services and clinical practice. She has worked extensively with a diverse range of people, including members of the LGBTQIA community, and brings that background into a independent practice setting in Massachusetts.

Background and approach

Wendy draws on both humanistic and evidence-based methods to support clients navigating complex emotional and relational challenges. Her practice centers on helping people manage interpersonal conflict, whether struggles are internal or arise with partners, friends, colleagues, or family members.

She is experienced addressing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD-related concerns, and relationship issues along with a range of stressors that can accompany life transitions. Wendy emphasizes acceptance, trust-building, and collaboration while integrating cognitive behavioral strategies, psychodynamic ideas, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-informed perspectives to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and involved in shaping goals; this approach helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and building trust in the therapeutic process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress. Mindfulness-informed work teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping with grief, anger, and compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process and will be explored together. The therapist uses an open, collaborative stance to tailor techniques to each person’s needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, evidence-informed care across different communication styles.
