About Wendy

Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and anger.

Wendy draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and on taking concrete steps toward change. She aims to form a working partnership where goals are clear and progress is measurable.

Before specializing in counseling, Wendy spent 13 years as a first responder and has ten years of experience connected to the child welfare system. More recently she has worked with people coping with addictions and with LGBTQ concerns. That background shapes how she listens and how she helps people manage strong emotions and high-stress situations.

Her approach is rooted in client-centered care while using specific methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Mindfulness-based stress reduction and problem-solving strategies are also part of her toolbox. Sessions typically mix discussion, skills practice, and real-life assignments to test what works.

Wendy encourages prospective clients to pick a therapist they feel comfortable with and to be realistic about the steps involved. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, better anger management, and more stable day-to-day routines.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed actions even when emotions are strong. It is useful for chronic anger, persistent worry, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new responses in daily life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger-related reactions. Mindfulness-based stress reduction teaches simple attention practices and short exercises to lower reactivity and improve sleep and focus. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily routines. Sessions involve checking what worked since the last meeting, practicing skills during the session, and planning small experiments to try between visits. The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use written or guided exercises between meetings so skills can be practiced in real situations.
