About Wendy

Wendy Dunn is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience in Florida. She helps people cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life changes. Her work emphasizes a calm, person-centered stance that respects each client’s story and strengths.

Wendy creates a steady space for people to talk through painful emotions. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and helps unravel them one step at a time. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways of thinking that can reduce day-to-day stress.

Her background includes long experience using several therapeutic approaches, so treatment is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. That means matching strategies to the problem at hand, whether the concern is low self-esteem, unresolved trauma, or trouble adjusting to change.

Wendy also supports issues related to abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and addiction-related challenges. She draws on solution-focused tools to set achievable goals and trauma-informed methods when past harm needs attention.

People working with her can expect collaborative sessions that mix listening, skill-building, and goal planning. The aim is to help clients find small, steady changes that add up to clearer choices and more manageable days.

How Wendy’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people reflect on feelings and identify their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stress.

Wendy will collaborate with each client to find the best fit among these approaches. That means discussing goals, trying different strategies, and adjusting the plan when something isn't helpful. The approach is chosen together based on needs, preferences, and what the person hopes to achieve.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can help make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, let people attend from wherever they are, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many clients find that remote sessions reduce travel and help them keep consistent progress between appointments.
