About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who focuses on practical, action-oriented therapy. She draws on methods that help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and addiction while working toward clearer goals and healthier routines. Wendy has eight years as an LPC and a background that includes long experience in emergency response and child welfare.
That mix shaped a direct, steady style that many people find reassuring when life feels chaotic.
Background and approach
She emphasizes partnership and keeps sessions focused on immediate problems and next steps. Her work often includes helping people change unhelpful habits, cope with grief, manage mood concerns like depression or bipolar symptoms, and address relationship and intimacy issues. She also supports people navigating parenting strains, career transitions, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Wendy pays attention to issues that commonly come with addiction, including codependency and relapse triggers. Wendy combines client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral tools and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build skills for everyday life. She uses mindfulness and problem-solving exercises to help people notice patterns and try small, practical changes.
Sessions typically explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then focus on actions that move a person forward. People who choose Wendy can expect a direct and compassionate approach that balances listening with concrete strategies. Her aim is to help clients leave sessions with clearer plans and steps they can use between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps aligned with their values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal goals, which can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns that influence feelings and behavior. CBT offers simple, practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits for sleep, mood, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit their situation. She adjusts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow visual cues and fuller conversation, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide quick check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter, ongoing communication between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy schedules.
