About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience focused on addictions and related concerns. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Sessions address practical problems such as sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress, and managing compassion fatigue.
Wendy draws on client-centered principles to make sessions collaborative and direct. She talks through thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and encourages small, doable actions between meetings. Her work has a strong focus on family of origin patterns when those early relationships continue to shape current struggles.
Her background includes years of frontline work that inform how she supports people under high stress. Wendy uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based strategies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. She also integrates dialectical techniques for emotion regulation when needed.
In practical terms, she focuses on concrete skill building - problem solving, managing urges, improving communication, and setting boundaries. Sessions often include behavioral experiments and mindfulness exercises to address symptoms like insomnia or anxiety.
Wendy asks people to consider what they want to change and to start with small steps. She describes therapy as a partnership that emphasizes action and reflection. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and book their first appointment.
How Wendy Uses ACT, CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. ACT often involves exercises to name what matters and to try small value-driven actions despite difficult feelings.She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood, or addictive behaviors. CBT sessions include practicing new responses, tracking behaviors, and planning experiments to test different choices.
Client-centered work underpins her approach by keeping sessions collaborative and focused on the person’s goals. That means she listens for what matters to the client and helps shape the tools and actions to fit those goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process; Wendy will work with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans typically combine techniques where useful and are adjusted over time through conversation and review.
