About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience. She focuses on reducing anxiety and stress and on helping people manage addictions, mood challenges, and life transitions. Wendy aims to create a calm, practical space where people can talk through problems and try small changes that add up over time.
She spent years working as a first responder and within the child welfare system, and that background shaped how she listens to strong emotions and crisis moments.
Background and approach
Wendy combines a client-centered attitude with clear, goal-focused methods so sessions feel collaborative rather than one-sided. Wendy uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered work. She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with sleep, eating concerns, and stress management.
In session she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and practice skills between meetings. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with body image, addiction, caregiver stress, and adjustment after major life events.
Wendy encourages a steady, practical pace. She discusses goals, teaches coping strategies, and helps people test what works in daily life. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, focused on helping clients make realistic progress.
How ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online Can Help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems like anxiety and depression going, often using short practice exercises between sessions. Client-centered therapy is based on listening carefully and shaping the work around each person's goals, which helps people feel understood and involved in decisions about treatment.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can fit better when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when shorter, more frequent contact helps. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on learning skills and making steady progress.
