Wendy Dunn , LMHC

Wendy Dunn is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her style is steady and direct, aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions.

Wendy creates a warm, respectful setting where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. She listens for each person’s strengths and life story, then works with them to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions are conversational, focused on what matters most to the client.

Her work draws from several proven methods, including client-centered listening, trauma-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral approaches. Those methods are used to reduce overwhelming symptoms, shift unhelpful thinking, and build daily coping skills. She also uses solution-focused ideas to help clients find workable next steps when change feels stalled.

Wendy has supported people with a wide range of concerns beyond the core specialties. These include attachment wounds, body image issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, substance concerns, and family of origin problems. She tailors the approach to each person’s specific situation and goals.

Sessions are offered in English from Florida. Wendy works with people who want a practical, collaborative counselor to help them regain stability and move toward a clearer sense of purpose.

How Wendy’s approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and build clarity about their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the hold that past traumatic experiences have on daily life and teaching coping skills to manage triggers and distress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, history, and goals and together choose methods that fit. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps the individual make steady progress.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep momentum when scheduling changes occur.
