About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho. She has eight years of counseling experience and a background that includes work with addictions and long experience in emergency response roles. Wendy aims to make starting therapy feel comfortable and hopeful for each person who reaches out.
She focuses on practical steps people can take to change how they think and act. Sessions often involve talking through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and then trying new ways of responding. Wendy uses a client-centered style that emphasizes listening and collaboration as people set goals and try different strategies.
Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship and intimacy issues. She also supports people facing work and caregiver stress and challenges around parenting and body image.
Wendy has years of experience connected to child welfare systems and first responder roles, which informs how she approaches trauma, compassion fatigue, and coping after disasters or violent events. She aims to help people rebuild routines, manage strong reactions, and regain a sense of control after difficult events.
In conversations, she prioritizes clear, practical steps and real-world coping skills. People who reach out can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on small, achievable changes that fit into daily life.
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, often using short exercises and homework between sessions to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions and goals.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Wendy will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative plan can change as progress is made or new concerns arise.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering flexible scheduling. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or regular weekly meetings that mirror in-person care. Talk with the therapist during the intake to learn which session styles will work best for your routine and needs.
