About Wendy
Wendy Schultz is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience guiding people through stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and related concerns. She emphasizes integration and skills training while using a strengths-based orientation to help clients build practical strategies for daily living.
Background and approach
Her work often centers on motivation, confidence, and creating sustainable habits that support wellbeing. Wendy frames therapy as a partnership that begins with where a person is now - whether ambivalent about goals, feeling uninspired, or facing a crisis.
She combines creative interventions and evidence-informed techniques to teach straightforward, implementable skills and to promote a more engaged, joyful life. Sessions aim to balance challenge and support so clients can move from coping to meaningful change.
Clients can expect an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings are explored and concrete tools are practiced. Wendy’s practice covers a range of concerns including relationship issues, mood disorders, addictions, ADHD, grief, and career-related difficulties, and she invites people who are ready to commit to personal growth to take the next step toward their goals.
Approaches That Guide Online Care
Wendy commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection and regulation, helping people address relational wounds, intimacy-related issues, and patterns rooted in early attachment experiences.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve, then tailors methods so the work feels useful and personally relevant. She brings both structured techniques and an openness to creative interventions so treatment can adapt as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible and accessible. These formats let clients practice skills between sessions, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult, while still receiving guided therapeutic feedback from a licensed professional.
