About Wendy
Wendy Dunn is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her work centers on listening closely and responding in ways that feel useful to each person.
Wendy keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean looking at patterns of thought and behavior, talking through painful memories, or finding small, concrete steps to make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience guiding people through grief, separation, addiction concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also supports people navigating body-image issues, attachment concerns, aging questions, autism spectrum needs, and communication difficulties. In sessions she aims to build self-understanding and practical coping skills.
Clients often work on reducing anxiety symptoms, managing mood, and handling big transitions with clearer plans. She favors clear language and tangible homework between meetings when it helps. Wendy describes herself as collaborative and respectful of each person’s pace.
She combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused methods. That mix helps people process difficult experiences while learning tools to feel steadier day to day.
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist listens with curiosity and follows the client's lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to painful memories and their effects, using gradual processing and coping strategies to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adjusts methods over time so treatment stays practical and aligned with what the person wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or when writing is a preferred way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit sessions into varied schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
