Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant, LPC

Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 19 years of practice. She sees people for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, ADHD, and other life transitions. She works from Louisiana and offers sessions in English to people inside and outside the United States.

She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and solution-focused strategies. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking, build practical skills, and test small changes that feel manageable. She also uses mindfulness and holistic perspectives when they fit a person's goals.

Her style is warm and encouraging. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to what feels doable in everyday life.

Wendy has worked with a wide range of concerns over nearly two decades. That includes trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual concerns including BDSM and kink culture, grief, anger, body image, gender dysphoria, and issues related to HIV/AIDS. She also supports people facing career challenges, first responder stress, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.

Practical tools and coaching often appear alongside traditional counseling. She helps people set concrete goals, monitor progress, and adjust strategies. Her aim is to help people gain skills they can use between sessions and to support steady forward movement.

To begin, she asks a few questions about goals and preferences and then creates a plan that fits the person's life and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and managing symptoms by teaching clear tools and homework tasks. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the person's own goals; this approach helps people feel heard and steer sessions toward what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will choose methods to try and make adjustments based on progress and comfort level so the plan fits the person's life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for regular weekly sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be good for short updates, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing between sessions. These options help fit therapy into a busy schedule and allow continued work when travel or relocation occurs.
