About Wendy
Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns and anger. Her work centers on practical steps that help people get through hard moments and make steady progress toward clearer goals.
Wendy creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about values and life choices. She listens without judgment and helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for coping, managing intense emotions, and improving daily functioning. Her approach blends brief, goal-focused methods with longer work on relationships and meaning. She uses techniques that help with problem solving, managing strong reactions, and changing unhelpful thinking.
Those who want help with communication, intimacy concerns, grief, or life transitions often find these methods useful. Wendy also works with people dealing with parenting stress, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and workplace strain. She supports exploration of identity and the impact of past losses or attachment wounds.
The goal is to leave sessions with clearer steps and tools that can be practiced between meetings. For people who prefer to work remotely, Wendy offers video, phone, chat, and text-based sessions. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's life.
She helps clients figure out what to try first and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

How Wendy’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or anger. It often includes simple homework between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's own goals at the center and relies on listening, reflection, and collaboration to build self-understanding and motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy treats therapy as a team effort and will help clients choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond. She checks in and adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lives and schedules. Video gives face-to-face time for deeper conversations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a mid-day check-in. Chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily demands.
