About &

Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience supporting people through life’s hard moments. She practices in Louisiana and brings a warm, encouraging style to sessions. Her work is practical and goal-focused, aimed at helping clients make steady changes.

Dr. Durant helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns while also addressing relationship and intimacy challenges. She supports those dealing with parenting stress, career transitions, grief, and trauma. Money and financial issues are included among the concerns she addresses.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work. Mindfulness practices and holistic ideas from her background in naturopathic studies also appear when they fit a person’s goals. She adapts the conversation and plan to each person rather than using a single template.

Sessions often include clear steps, concrete skills, and short-term goals that people can try between meetings. She emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental care and avoids stigmatizing labels. That makes the room easier to talk about sensitive topics like ADHD, sexual concerns, or body image.

People who want straightforward support and practical strategies may find her approach helpful. To begin, readers are invited to use the site process to match and schedule a first visit.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship. It helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings, work through identity questions, or decide important next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name their emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck, which can ease relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match what a person needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill-building, emotion work, or mindfulness practices as therapy progresses.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy fits their routine better because it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or make scheduling across locations easier. Licensed professionals can guide practical homework, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and step-by-step behavioral plans that fit into daily life.
