About Wendy
Wendy Hunter is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports clients navigating parenting challenges, relationship struggles, addiction, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Wendy has worked in hospitals, stabilization units, community mental health, opioid treatment clinics, and independent practice settings. That mix of settings means she has experience with both crisis-focused and ongoing care.
How Wendy works
Her background includes work related to child abuse treatment and race-based traumatic stress. Her style is warm and direct. Sessions are collaborative: the client guides the pace and Wendy offers practical strategies and honest feedback.
She emphasizes kindness without labels and focuses on people’s strengths rather than deficits. Wendy adapts what she does to each person’s needs. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and life transitions.
She also helps with specific concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and first responder issues. People can expect straightforward support aimed at building coping skills, improving communication, and increasing confidence. Wendy frames progress as a shared effort and meets people where they are.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to provide steady, compassionate guidance along the way.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. One common approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional hold so people can function better day to day. Another approach teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies that reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences and then adjusts methods as needed. Together they track what helps most and change course when something is not working well for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and clearer nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a tight schedule. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, paced reflection, and written prompts for people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
