About Wendy
Wendy Hunter is a licensed professional clinical counselor with two decades of experience helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She practices from Ohio and brings calm, straightforward care to people facing depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and relationship or parenting challenges. Wendy has worked in hospitals, stabilization units, community mental health programs, opioid treatment clinics, and independent practice.
That range gives her familiarity with medical settings and community supports, and it informs how she tailors sessions for different needs.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens without judgment and helps people set the pace. She focuses on strengths and practical steps rather than labels, and she encourages clients to use their existing skills while building new ones.
In sessions she helps people process traumatic experiences, manage strong emotions like anger, and build better coping skills for life change and caregiver stress. She also addresses concerns such as compassion fatigue, motivation and confidence, intimacy-related issues, and ADHD-related challenges. Wendy supervises other counselors and draws on long experience supporting providers and clients alike.
She aims to make therapy concrete and useful, with tools that can be practiced between meetings. Her goal is to help people return to everyday life feeling more capable and steady.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity through structured, stepwise work that helps people feel safer with their experiences. Another approach targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching simple, skill-based strategies to reduce anxiety and lift mood through gradual practice and problem solving.Choosing which method to use is collaborative. Wendy works with each person to decide what fits their goals and lifestyle. She will suggest options, explain how they work, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus and planning.
