About Wendy
Wendy Isaac is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Massachusetts with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and young adult issues.
Wendy uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. She listens and helps people name the problems that matter most. She then works with them to try different skills and strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
Over the years she has also used client-centered methods and solution-focused techniques to help people move forward. That can mean practicing new ways to cope with strong emotions, trying small experiments between sessions, or changing how people react to stressful situations. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented.
Wendy also has experience with family-related concerns such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and parenting stress. She helps individuals facing postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, self-harm urges, and other mood-related problems find clearer next steps.
Her background includes work in private practice and school settings. She emphasizes collaboration about what to work on and checks in regularly to make sure the approach fits the person’s needs. People who want practical tools and steady guidance may find this approach helpful.
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work
Wendy draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that fit online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping with anxiety, depression, and work or school stress. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, which can help with mood instability, strong reactions, and burnout.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and the two of them will decide together which methods to try first. She adjusts the plan as needed based on how the work is going and what feels useful.
