Wendy Gilchrist, LCPC

Wendy Gilchrist brings personal maturity, shared humanitarian values, and broad clinical experience to her therapeutic work. After completing an MBA, she began a career as a not-for-profit entrepreneur, designing and leading organizations that supported homeless boys and survivors of abuse and that created business opportunities for disadvantaged populations to gain economic self-sufficiency.

Following her graduate training and licensure as an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - Wendy transitioned into clinical practice. She has worked with individuals across the lifespan, with families, and in group formats, gaining deep exposure to clinical situations involving trauma and loss. Her background includes experience in hospital psychiatric units and, more recently, in a recognized trauma-informed program.

Wendy combines her nonprofit leadership experience with clinical skills to offer practical, compassionate support. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to meet clients where they are, addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, family and parenting challenges, mood disorders, grief, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Her practice reflects a commitment to social purpose alongside individualized care for each person she works with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client in exploring values, goals, and personal strengths. This approach is helpful for people facing relationship challenges, identity questions, or general life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with coping skills, offering practical strategies to shift how situations are interpreted and responded to.

Mindfulness Therapy involves building present-moment awareness and self-compassion through simple attention practices. It can support emotion regulation, reduce rumination, and help clients respond to stress with greater calm and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy Gilchrist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains responsive and client-centered.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to meet with licensed professionals from different locations and on schedules that suit busy lives, while preserving continuity of care and personalized treatment planning.
