About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho. She brings eight years of counseling experience and a background in supporting people through addiction and related challenges. Wendy aims to create a calm, direct space where clients can talk through problems and take practical steps forward.
Wendy earned a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Idaho. Before moving into counseling full time, she spent 13 years as a first responder and has ten years of work linked to the child welfare system. That experience shaped her ability to stay grounded in crisis and to help people facing big life stressors.
Her approach is client-centered and compassionate. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, building practical skills, and taking actions that match a person’s values. Wendy uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, among other approaches, and she adapts techniques to each person’s situation.
Wendy has worked with people facing addictions, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related concerns. She also lists adoption and foster care among her focus areas and can support people navigating those challenges. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with an emphasis on small, doable changes.
Wendy is licensed in Idaho and follows professional ethical standards. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a time based on the therapist’s availability.
How these approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It mixes mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce what gets in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what is and isn't helpful so the plan stays tied to real needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to help people maintain steady progress while juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
