Wendy Dunn

Wendy Dunn is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain of big life changes. Her style is calm and direct. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.

Wendy builds a space where people can talk through hard moments and figure out next steps. She listens for what matters to each person and helps them name practical goals. Conversations are rooted in the client's real life, not just theory.

Her work draws on several approaches, including client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. She uses these to help people spot unhelpful thinking, practice new behaviors, and strengthen coping skills. Trauma-focused ideas inform her work with people who carry painful experiences.

Sessions often address things like relationship problems, substance concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and challenges tied to aging. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, and family-of-origin issues. The focus is on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

Wendy presents options clearly and partners with people to try manageable steps between sessions. Her goal is to help clients leave therapy with clearer routines, better self-understanding, and tools they can use on their own.

How Wendy’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify values and choices. This approach helps people feel understood and decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic experiences and offers strategies to reduce distress linked to those memories. It aims to help people regain a sense of control and manage triggers more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match a person's goals, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative process makes it easier to settle on techniques that fit the person's needs and preferences.

Confirm current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of techniques that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients practice exercises and tasks between meetings.
