About Wendi
Wendi Cancilla is a licensed mental health counselor with 24 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, and grief. She supports those facing parenting strain, anger or addiction concerns, and people coping with major life changes or career stress. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps and real-life strategies.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on building useful skills. Wendi often uses problem-focused conversations and goal-oriented exercises to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm interferes with current life.
Her work emphasizes collaboration and skill-building. Clients can expect structured sessions that balance talking through problems with concrete tools to try between meetings. She pays attention to how stress, sleep, and relationships affect mood and behavior.
Wendi has long experience helping people who face complicated health or caregiving burdens, abandonment or attachment concerns, and blended family stress. She also supports people navigating issues related to adoption and foster care, autism spectrum concerns, chronic pain and medical illness, and co-occurring mental health challenges.
She holds the LMHC credential and practices in Washington. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect people with the right fit and timing.
