About Wendy
LCSW-C Wendy Johnston is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She works with adults to address these concerns and related life challenges.
Johnston uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to the needs a person brings to the room. Sessions tend to focus on practical strategies, clearer thinking, and steps a person can try between meetings.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice across settings where people present with post-traumatic stress, grief, and relationship stressors. That experience informs how she approaches problems like isolation, impulsivity, and guilt or shame. She also supports people facing aging and caregiver stresses and concerns about life purpose and midlife transitions.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about symptoms and goals. The therapist pays attention to communication patterns, coping skills, and finding manageable next steps. Work may include addressing seasonal mood shifts and issues connected to military service or veteran-related stress.
Johnston conducts sessions in English and practices under her Maryland LCSW-C credential. International clients are not currently accepted. For those interested in starting, the process begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Johnston practices with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem-solving. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This method teaches practical steps for noticing thoughts and testing whether they are accurate, which can make everyday problems easier to manage.Another strand of work addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories and build coping strategies. This involves pacing difficult material, practicing grounding and emotion-regulation skills, and rehearsing ways to respond to triggers in daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work from a quieter place or choose a setup that fits their routine while focusing on practical strategies and clear goals.
