About Wendy
Wendy Smith is an LCSW who helps people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and big life changes. She works with adults who are dealing with panic attacks, trauma, or struggles with self-esteem. Wendy writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
She combines practical skills with time to talk through painful feelings. Sessions often focus on building coping tools, reducing panic symptoms, and improving everyday communication. Wendy brings a compassionate, faith-informed perspective and respects each person’s spiritual and emotional path.
Her background includes five years of clinical practice in Oklahoma supporting people through transitions like pregnancy, adoption, and caregiver stress. She has worked with clients processing abandonment, infidelity, and guilt so they can move toward more stable daily routines.
Wendy prioritizes small, achievable goals. She helps clients practice breathing and grounding techniques, plan steps for career or life changes, and try new ways of relating to others. She encourages self-compassion and steady progress over time.
People meet her for focused help with panic disorder and panic attacks, for recovery after trauma, or for support while navigating family and relationship challenges. To begin, she asks about the immediate problem and what a better week would look like, then tailors sessions to those goals.
How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and panic. One commonly used approach focuses on learning concrete skills to reduce panic symptoms, such as breath work and grounding exercises that lower intensity in the moment. Another approach centers on processing trauma and related emotions, helping a person make sense of upsetting experiences and reduce their hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter visit is helpful. It also lets people continue care during life transitions, like pregnancy or caregiving changes, without rearranging as many logistics.
