About Wendy
Wendy Weston uses a client-centered approach to guide practical change. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience in Idaho. Wendy aims to make beginning therapy feel straightforward and hopeful for people under stress.
She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. Wendy also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, self-esteem, and work stress. Other areas she addresses include eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
How Wendy works
Wendy draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based methods to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She combines these with mindfulness and dialetical skills to build practical coping tools. Sessions center on exploring thoughts and feelings and then taking small steps toward change.
Her background includes years in first responder roles and experience with child welfare systems, which informs a steady, practical style. That background contributes to clear, action-oriented work when someone faces crisis, grief, or addiction challenges. Wendy works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and goals.
She encourages collaboration, so clients help choose the methods they try. The focus is on usable skills that make daily life easier and help people move toward the changes they want.

Online support options
How Wendy’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then move toward values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when avoiding or rumination get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, mood, and habits like sleep or eating difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements teach specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when they want that interaction, phone sessions can fit a break in a busy day or use less bandwidth, and chat or text can serve for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to use therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
