About &
Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 19 years of experience.
She blends counseling and coaching perspectives to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her manner is warm and encouraging, and she aims to create a respectful space where people can talk through hard issues without judgment. She draws on client-centered approaches to put the person's goals first and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
How & works
Solution-focused work helps set clear, short-term goals while mindfulness practices teach simple ways to manage intense emotions. These methods are combined with practical ideas from her broader background to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
Typical concerns she addresses include relationship and intimacy problems, parenting strain, grief, career stress, trauma and abuse, and sexual health matters such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She also supports people coping with ADHD, anger, body image issues, gender dysphoria, and first responder stress.
Sessions can include coaching-style guidance when helpful, such as building coping plans, practicing communication skills, or identifying small steps toward change. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on strengths and workable strategies that fit daily life. People meet with her to learn skills, set achievable goals, and get steady support through transitions.
Her practice combines practical exercises, reflective conversation, and tools to manage symptoms in real situations.

Approach and Online Options for Therapy
Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant uses client-centered work to focus on each person's goals and experience. This approach centers on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, problem solving, emotional processing, or a mix of strategies.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for full sessions that include conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates, ask questions, and get brief coaching or reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping progress moving forward.
