About Wendy
Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, and relationship problems.
Wendy focuses on practical conversations that look at how early family roles and expectations still shape daily life. She talks through patterns that come from family of origin issues and attachment difficulties. That can include worries about abandonment, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, or struggles with codependency and communication.
Sessions often include exploring how feelings such as guilt, shame, anger, or emptiness show up in relationships and everyday choices. She uses straightforward methods to address mood issues including bipolar symptoms, disruptive mood dysregulation, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, disability, and grief.
Wendy combines client-centered ways of working with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing and existential ideas also inform her conversations when appropriate. The focus is on concrete steps people can try between sessions to test new habits.
People can expect calm, clear discussion about problems and options. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions using this approach let clients talk through family patterns and current problems while the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; online CBT sessions often include practical homework and brief skill practices to try between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practiced and reviewed during remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what techniques feel useful and adjusting the plan as sessions progress.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited, or video for fuller interaction. These practical choices can help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday responsibilities.
