About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience focused on addictions and related concerns. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, depression, and other issues among her practice areas. Wendy also notes experience with LGBTQ concerns and work linked to child welfare and first response roles.
She earned a master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Idaho. Her background includes over a decade of first responder work and long experience in the child welfare system, which informs how she understands crises and complex stress. Wendy follows the ethical codes of professional counseling bodies relevant to her licensure.
Wendy emphasizes a client-centered approach in session. That means conversations focus on the person's own goals and what they want to change. She will explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and suggest actions to move toward those goals.
She uses a mix of evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), existential ideas, and mindfulness-based techniques. These approaches are used to address anxiety, coping with life changes, addictions, and relationship or parenting stresses.
Wendy frames therapy as a partnership where practical steps and reflection come together. People can expect clear talk about patterns, practice of skills between sessions, and focus on manageable changes rather than abstract concepts.
How her approaches translate to online work
Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce worry and improve certain habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and encourage actions that match those values, useful when anxiety or avoidance get in the way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and reduce the need to arrange childcare. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session length will work best for everyday life.
