About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Wendy focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, and life changes.
She aims to build a working relationship where clients feel heard and understood. Wendy draws on client-centered care and several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person's needs. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and commit to small, workable changes.
Background and approach
She also teaches skills for managing intense emotions and staying steady during stressful times. Her background includes work related to child welfare and many years as a first responder, which shaped her ability to stay calm in crisis and handle complex situations. More recently she has focused on supporting people struggling with addiction and related issues.
That mix of experience informs how she approaches grief, trauma, parenting strain, and caregiver stress. Wendy uses short exercises, skill practice, and straightforward conversation rather than long lectures. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress.
Common topics she addresses include sleep and appetite troubles, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD, and feelings of emptiness. People who choose Wendy can expect practical tools, steady support, and a focus on actions that fit real life. She emphasizes small steps that build toward clearer thinking, better coping, and gentle growth over time.
How Wendy’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values-based actions to move forward; it can help with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and improving distress tolerance in intense moments.Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match scheduling, comfort with technology, and daily routines.
