About Wenona
Wenona Wray, LPC, helps people manage phobias, panic, anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, eating and sleep problems, and the strain that comes with life changes. Her style is direct and collaborative.
She aims to help clients gain practical skills and clearer choices. Wenona draws on 18 years of counseling experience, including work as a non-commissioned officer in the United States Air Force and later in professional practice in Texas.
Background and approach
She values teamwork with each client and avoids a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions focus on what the person needs now and on realistic next steps. Her work uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with mindfulness and emotionally-focused methods.
In plain terms, that means helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new responses, and build more rewarding actions. She also uses motivational interviewing to help clients find their own reasons to change. Wenona meets people where they are and adapts methods to fit their life.
She helps with communication problems, body image, control issues, veteran and first responder concerns, and coping after disasters. She supports people with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and a range of mood and anxiety disorders. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in Texas and international clients.
The approach is practical, steady, and team-focused, with attention to skills people can use between sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to actions that reflect those values. Online ACT sessions focus on identifying core values, learning to notice thoughts without getting stuck, and choosing small steps toward what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. In online CBT clients practice skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered online, DBT skills can help people manage intense emotions, reduce panic, and build steadier routines through coaching and skill practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative decision can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel, or caregiving schedules.
