About Wendy

Wendy Dunn is a licensed mental health counselor who has worked in Florida for more than 25 years. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and major life changes. Wendy focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use between sessions.

She creates a calm, empathetic atmosphere where clients can talk through difficult feelings. Wendy listens for each person's history and strengths, then helps them set small, achievable goals. Sessions are straightforward and paced to each person's needs.

Wendy uses a mix of approaches to match the issue at hand. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills.

Her background includes extensive experience working with trauma and abuse concerns. She brings that experience to support people coping with the emotional aftermath of painful events. She also helps with self-esteem, coping with illness or chronic pain, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns that feel stuck.

Wendy aims to help people develop tools they can rely on in daily life. She works with adults and teens to build coping strategies, improve communication, and make clearer choices about the future. People who prefer calm, practical guidance tend to find her style a good fit.

How Wendy uses therapy approaches online

Wendy commonly combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Client-centered therapy means the session follows the person's own concerns and pace, helping them name what matters and build on strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also brings trauma-focused techniques when past events are affecting current life. That work moves at a careful, collaborative pace and focuses on reducing the ways trauma shows up day to day. Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work together; Wendy will help map options and adapt methods to each person's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking to confirm what is currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people practice skills, track progress, and apply new strategies between appointments.
