About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with eight years of clinical experience treating addictions and related concerns. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, and attention-related challenges. Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than labels or promises.
Wendy draws on client-centered methods to create a straightforward, respectful space for adults to talk through what is hard at home. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools appear when coping skills and values-based action are needed.
Her background includes work in first response and child welfare, and recent clinical focus on addiction. That mix shapes a direct, experienced approach to problems like caregiver stress, codependency, and substance use. She also lists experience with LGBTQ concerns and adoption and foster care issues.
In sessions she explores thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and works with clients to try small changes that fit daily life. Expect practical strategies such as mindfulness exercises, grounding skills, and problem-solving steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Wendy asks that prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the site. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. It is useful for coping with anxiety, addiction urges, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when relationships are strained.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy works together with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and workable between meetings.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills during real-life routines, such as trying a grounding exercise after a difficult call or using a brief CBT tool during a work break. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises to an online setting so the work continues even when meeting remotely.
