Wendy Fydenkevez, LICSW

Wendy Fydenkevez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with eight years of work in social services. She moved from varied roles into independent practice and focuses on helping people navigate stressful life moments. Her approach aims to create a trusting, respectful space where clients can talk through what feels tangled or overwhelming.

She has experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQIA community. Wendy often sees people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction concerns, and challenges that come with midlife transitions. She also works with issues like ADHD, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress.

In session she blends client-centered listening with practical techniques. That means she starts by hearing a person’s story and priorities, then adds cognitive tools and motivational interviewing to build change that fits their life. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are also used to make sense of recurring patterns.

Wendy aims for a collaborative, down-to-earth style. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small experiments, and clearer communication with important people. She helps clients sort options and try steps that feel manageable.

She practices in Massachusetts and conducts work in English. If you think this might be a fit, use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name what matters most; this works well for people facing relationship strain, grief, or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges.

Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness through attention exercises. It can reduce rumination and support emotion regulation when stress or anger feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will help figure out which combination of methods suits a person’s goals and preferences, and adjust techniques over time based on how things are going. This collaborative process keeps sessions practical and focused on what the client wants to change.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets some people meet from a quieter nearby space, or choose a format that needs less bandwidth or no camera. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while working on midlife transitions, relationship concerns, and stress management.
