About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience. She has a master's degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Idaho. Wendy's practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strain, anger, and mood disorders.
Wendy spent 13 years as a first responder and has ten years of experience within the child welfare system. More recently she has focused on supporting people dealing with addictions. That background shapes how she approaches practical problems and crisis situations.
In sessions she partners with clients to look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Conversations aim to identify patterns that contribute to repeating problems. She encourages small, manageable actions people can try between sessions to test what works.
Her work draws on several well-known methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles, client-centered ideas, and mindfulness techniques. She describes therapy as a collaborative process to develop skills and make steady change.
Wendy is a member of the American Counseling Association and follows the Idaho boards and professional ethics that govern practice. People who choose her often want concrete tools to handle anger, stress, addiction struggles, or shifting life demands.
How Wendy uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. ACT also focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills offer concrete strategies for regulating strong emotions and improving distress tolerance.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, listen to what has or hasn't helped before, and recommend methods to try together. That plan can change as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets clients practice skills in the settings where problems happen, then bring observations back to the therapist to refine what works.
