About Wendy
Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, communication difficulties, addiction recovery, and self-esteem. She also works with relationship and family matters and supports people facing major life changes and grief.
Wendy offers a faith-centered, conservative approach that honors clients' spiritual beliefs and personal values. She frames sessions around practical coping skills and clearer communication rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect direct, respectful conversations about current problems and next steps.
Her work draws from several evidence-based methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. These approaches are used to address thinking patterns, emotional responses, and relationship interactions. The choice of method depends on the concern being addressed.
Typical sessions involve exploring what causes stress or conflict, practicing new ways to communicate, and building routines that support mood and functioning. Wendy also helps people navigate adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and addiction concerns.
She emphasizes realistic, day-to-day strategies that people can try between sessions. The focus is on manageable changes - clearer boundaries, improved routines, and better communication - so people can handle parenting, work, and relationships with less strain.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
This therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her approach. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches skills to change them.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether techniques from ACT, CBT, or other methods fit the concern and how to test them in everyday life.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use therapy while balancing work, caregiving, or health needs. Sessions focus on practical skills, communication practice, and small steps that can be tried between meetings.
