About Wendy
Wendy Haynes-Britton is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Wendy focuses on practical skills and clearer communication to help people handle daily stressors and intense feelings.
Her sessions start with straightforward conversation about what is most pressing. She listens to current patterns and helps identify steps that reduce conflict and emotional overwhelm. Practical strategies and short exercises are used between sessions to build skill and confidence.
Wendy draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep sessions person-focused, and incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when needed.
For relationship concerns she uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and repair interactions. She guides people through setting boundaries, addressing resentment, and repairing trust when possible.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Wendy encourages small experiments in daily life to test new approaches. She asks clients to track what changes and brings that information back to therapy.
To begin, she asks people to name the most pressing issue and a small first goal. That makes sessions practical and focused from the start, rather than vague or overwhelming.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps that match those values while noticing hard thoughts. It can be useful for anger that gets in the way of relationships or life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which is helpful for panic, depression, and persistent anger reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking. If you plan to use online sessions, consider what fits your schedule and needs - shorter check-ins can fit a work break, phone sessions can avoid video bandwidth, and longer sessions allow deeper skill practice. These practical choices make it easier to try new strategies between meetings and keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
