About Wendy
Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience helping people through difficult seasons. She creates a calm, respectful space and encourages practical steps toward feeling better. Parents reading on a phone will find short, direct guidance and an emphasis on real-life coping skills.
Wendy focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and addiction, and also supports people with relationship and communication problems. She helps clients who struggle with grief, trauma, self-esteem, sleep or eating concerns, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiver stress.
Background and approach
Phobias are among the concerns she lists and she offers strategies to reduce avoidance and fear. Her style blends evidence-based methods with a client-centered stance. That means she listens first, then works with each person to choose practical tools that fit their goals and values.
Sessions may include skill practice, behavior plans, and ways to slow and reframe troubling thoughts. Wendy offers a faith-informed, conservative environment when that matches a client’s needs. She respects spiritual beliefs and personal values while focusing on day-to-day changes that improve functioning and relationships.
She also addresses life transitions such as adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, and career shifts. People who prefer clear goals and step-by-step plans tend to work well with her. She emphasizes collaboration, short-term strategies for coping, and longer-term work on patterns like attachment, codependency, and commitment worries.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting pushed around by them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and phobias. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead to help them find their own solutions and build confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will listen to your priorities, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust methods over time. That teamwork helps find what actually helps in day-to-day life rather than sticking to one single method regardless of results.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you practice skills in real time while phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, coping tools between sessions, or when someone prefers written conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
