Wendy Dunn, LMHC

Wendy Dunn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 25 years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Wendy listens closely and helps clients find clear steps forward when problems feel overwhelming.

She creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Wendy uses practical tools and straightforward conversation rather than jargon. She pays attention to each person's history and strengths when planning next steps.

Her work blends several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Client-centered methods keep the person's goals and values at the center of sessions. Trauma-focused techniques guide recovery when past hurt affects daily life.

Wendy has helped people manage long-term stress, cope with medical or caregiving burdens, and work through relationship wounds that trace back to family of origin issues. She also provides support around addiction, communication troubles, body image, and challenges related to aging or disability.

Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while remaining empathetic. Wendy encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time. She works with people who prefer a steady, collaborative pace rather than quick fixes.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online care

Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors that can reduce anxiety and depression. She also works from a client-centered perspective that keeps the person's goals and values central, making sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt continues to affect daily functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy talks with each person about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they choose techniques and adjust them over time so sessions match the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy lets people meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick updates, brief skill practice, or scheduling between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
