Wendy Gallo, LMFT

Wendy Gallo is a California-licensed LMFT with 20 years of professional experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she combines clinical skills with practical coaching to help clients build motivation, confidence, and clearer direction in both personal and professional areas of life. She has particular experience supporting people through coping with change and in executive coaching to strengthen performance and purpose.

Wendy often encourages clients to include time in nature as part of their healing process and supports the use of outdoor experiences to enhance wellbeing. She fosters an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings safely, and she meets clients where they are when taking that first, sometimes difficult, step into therapy. Wendy approaches the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative journey, offering guidance and encouragement while helping clients develop practical tools for daily life.

Evidence-Based and Nature-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills, coping strategies, and problem solving to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. These methods emphasize clear goals, measurable progress, and tools clients can use between sessions to manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions.

She also integrates coaching principles and nature-informed practices into her work, encouraging activities and reflections that draw on time outdoors to support motivation, meaning, and a sense of perspective. This blend of clinical and coaching approaches can help clients address self-esteem, purpose, and professional challenges in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Wendy works with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access support from wherever the client is located within California, and choose the format that feels most helpful for the work at hand.
