Wendy Duncan Kithcart, LCSW

Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on relationship concerns and related stress. She brings 18 years of clinical experience and helps people address anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. Wendy aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and practical problems.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can mean working on unhelpful thinking patterns, learning coping skills for intense emotions, or exploring the meaning behind life changes. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with a focus on what the person wants to change.

Wendy has a long history of supporting people through trauma, abuse, and family struggles. She also works with parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. Her background includes helping people cope with chronic illness, attachment and family of origin issues, and transitions that leave people feeling stuck.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and steps to reach them. Over time she blends gentle exploration with concrete tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Wendy practices in North Carolina and communicates in English. She accepts international clients and aims to make beginning therapy simple and respectful for people from different backgrounds.

How Wendy’s approaches fit into online therapy

Wendy often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. This approach is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify values and goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT provides practical steps for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most relevant, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative planning helps steer sessions toward useful skills and meaningful insight.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around work, childcare, or school schedules and reduce travel time. It also makes it easier to have shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions without commuting. Speak with the therapist when scheduling to make sure session length and timing meet your needs.
