About Wendy

Wendy Duncan Kithcart is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on meaning and choice. She combines a thoughtful, person-focused style with practical tools to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. Wendy speaks plainly and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for a worried parent or busy adult.

Wendy uses Existential Therapy to help people name what matters to them and face hard life questions.

Background and approach

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify patterns that keep problems active and to build different ways of coping. With 18 years of experience, she has supported people dealing with trauma, abuse, parenting strain, family problems, and a range of mental health diagnoses.

Her background includes work across varied settings helping clients sort through grief, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, chronic illness, and communication problems. In sessions she focuses on listening first, then helping people try concrete steps that fit their lives.

Wendy encourages small experiments between sessions and checks in about what helps or does not. She aims for therapy that feels personal and doable rather than one-size-fits-all. Wendy practices in North Carolina and works in English.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple online formats to fit different needs.

Online support

Approach and online care that fit your life

Wendy commonly draws on Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Existential Therapy helps people look at life choices, meaning, and how to move forward when things feel empty or overwhelming. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on warm, nonjudgmental listening so people can name feelings and feel heard. CBT targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will listen to goals and concerns, explain different ways of working, and then try approaches that match what feels useful. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what works for each person.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, quicker reflections, and a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while trying different methods together.
