Wendy Duncan Kithcart, LCSW

Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and a wide range of mental health diagnoses. Wendy creates an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood, and she works collaboratively to identify practical steps forward.

Her approach is grounded in respect for each person’s experience and paced to fit individual needs, whether addressing relationship strain, grief, addiction, mood concerns, or the complexities of family life. Wendy values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the initial steps accessible and affirming. Prospective clients can expect a steady, empathic presence and a focus on building skills and insight that support lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Wendy draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support clients in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients can explore their values and goals with a therapist who follows their lead; it is especially helpful for people seeking understanding and a stronger sense of self. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and building practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be useful for intense emotions and difficulties with interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Wendy collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so care remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, whether managing daily stressors, navigating life transitions, or working through deeper issues.
