About Wendy

Wendy Galyen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings extensive clinical and academic experience to her practice. She earned degrees in Psychology and Social Work from the University of Indianapolis in 2002 and completed a master of social work at Indiana University in 2003.

Background and approach

Over the years she has worked with individuals, couples, families, and children across a range of settings, and she continues to engage in higher education and professional training as an adjunct faculty member and internship supervisor at Indiana University, Butler University, and the University of Indianapolis.

Her background also includes social work research with publications and presentations in textbooks, journals, and at national conferences, keeping her connected to current counseling theory and evidence-informed practice.

In independent practice she draws on a variety of therapeutic perspectives to meet each person where they are, most often using cognitive behavioral techniques, solutions-focused ideas, and mindfulness to support progress toward goals. Wendy’s counseling style is conversational, empathic, non-judgmental, compassionate, and tailored to the individual.

She aims to build rapport quickly so that trust and meaningful change can follow. For her online clients she maintains regular office hours and strives for timely communication, typically responding to messages within 24 hours to sustain consistency and availability.

She welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers collaborative guidance through life’s transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Wendy draws on evidence-informed methods to help people manage current concerns and build lasting skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can lessen reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy approaches selection of methods collaboratively. She works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. This range of options supports regular contact and consistent momentum toward goals while accommodating individual routines and accessibility needs.
