Wendy Duncan Kithcart

Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on clear, person-centered care. She brings 18 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and life transitions. Wendy aims to make starting therapy feel doable and straightforward.

Wendy uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She creates space for people to share hard feelings about family conflict, past trauma, addiction, or parenting struggles. The therapist works to reduce shame and help clients find practical next steps.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and build better ways of coping. Motivational interviewing and existential ideas are also part of her toolbox when exploring values and life meaning.

Wendy has worked across many settings and with a wide range of mental health concerns, including bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and relationship problems. She supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, family-of-origin struggles, and communication problems.

Wendy is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW and offers sessions in English. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed by life changes or intense emotions to take the first step and explore therapy.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Wendy uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and values, offering a space where people can talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when anger or intense feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will talk with each person about goals, day-to-day needs, and what methods feel most comfortable. That conversation guides whether CBT skill practice, DBT techniques, or client-centered reflection becomes the main focus.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, make scheduling easier around work or caregiving, and allow for short check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible for clients outside the therapist's immediate area to connect, but confirm international scheduling and times before arranging sessions.
