About Wendy

Wendy Duncan Kithcart uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. Her style is warm and direct, and she helps people name problems and find practical steps forward.

Wendy supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship strain. She also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and identity questions within LGBT experiences.

Background and approach

Her practice includes focus areas such as family conflict, attachment and abandonment concerns, and coping with life changes. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and coping tools.

Motivational Interviewing and existential ideas inform conversations about values and sustainment of change. Her approach is practical and collaborative. Wendy listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.

She offers both longer work on deep patterns and shorter-term help for a specific problem. People who come for therapy can expect spoken, straightforward feedback and tools to try between meetings. Wendy works by telephone, video calls, live chat, or text-based messaging so sessions can fit different schedules and life demands.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding where a person is and meeting them there. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide which issues matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving clear strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss options and help choose methods that match a person's concerns, goals, and daily life. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress happens.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break in a workday or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and skills coaching easier between appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit varied routines and locations.
