Wendy Weston

Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience. She focuses on practical change and works alongside people to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Wendy aims to help clients feel hopeful about therapy and comfortable with the direction of care.

She brings past work in emergency response and child welfare into her counseling perspective, which informs how she supports people facing stressful, traumatic, or high-pressure situations. Much of her recent practice has involved supporting people dealing with addictions and co-occurring concerns.

Wendy uses a client-centered, compassionate stance in sessions. She draws on a mix of methods and chooses techniques that fit the person in front of her. Sessions typically include talking through patterns, learning new coping skills, and planning small steps toward change.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, and mindfulness practices when helpful. These methods are described and adapted to real-life problems such as anxiety, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and grief.

People often seek her help for stress, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, ADHD, depression, and career or life transitions. She also lists focused areas like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, substance use, and trauma-related issues. Wendy aims to build a practical plan with each person and adjust it as needs change.

How her approaches translate to online care

Wendy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that fuel issues like anger or substance use.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try first. She adapts techniques over time based on what the person finds useful and what produces practical changes.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find virtual work helps fit counseling into busy days, lets them keep shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to practice skills between meetings. The therapist will explain how sessions can be scheduled and adjusted to match your routine and goals.
