About Wendy
Wendy Glass Givens is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and family concerns. She draws on seven years of counseling experience in California to offer steady, practical support. Wendy aims to meet people where they are and help them take manageable next steps.
She brings a Christian-informed perspective to sessions and respects each person's spiritual background as part of their story. That perspective is woven into conversations when clients want it, and it informs how she frames hope and meaning. Wendy focuses on building resilience, identifying strengths, and creating simple strategies to deal with everyday struggles.
In sessions she listens closely and helps clients clarify goals. Together they talk through patterns, try out new ways of coping, and track what works. The emphasis is on usable tools and realistic changes rather than abstract theory.
Wendy describes therapy as a collaborative process. She supports people as they name priorities, practice new habits, and respond to setbacks. Her work centers on steady progress and practical steps toward emotional well-being.
Clients who prefer faith to be part of their care can expect that element to be acknowledged and respected. Wendy is based in California and brings seven years of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW.
Evidence-informed approaches for real-life problems
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety; it emphasizes testing small changes and noticing different outcomes. Another approach centers on processing grief and loss by creating space to tell the story of what happened, name emotions, and build ways to remember while moving forward.Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Wendy collaborates with clients to match therapeutic methods to their goals, beliefs, and daily life. She adjusts the approach as needs evolve and checks in often to make sure work in sessions feels relevant and useful.
