Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant , LPC

Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She combines counseling and life coaching skills to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and questions about identity. Her tone is warm and encouraging and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through what matters most to them.

She uses straightforward, practical techniques from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions often include goal-setting, skill-building, and mindfulness practices that people can use between meetings. Wendy adapts her approach to each person and focuses on changes that feel manageable day to day.

Her background also includes work with intimacy-related concerns, sexual culture topics such as BDSM and kink, body image, and gender dysphoria. She supports people dealing with trauma, addiction-related sexual behaviors, and the emotional fallout of separation and divorce. Coaching-style conversations may be used when clients want a targeted plan for career or life transitions.

Wendy supports parents with parenting stress and people facing anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, or first-responder stress. She also addresses health-related concerns such as HIV/AIDS and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Her style stays practical and compassionate when tackling difficult subjects.

People who appreciate clear goals, gentle encouragement, and a mix of talk therapy and skills practice may find her approach helpful. She works with English-speaking clients and is available for sessions in several online formats.

Approach and online therapy options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and helping people clarify their goals while the therapist follows the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and aims to help people notice and change those patterns to improve closeness and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about priorities, try tools in session, and adjust methods based on what works and what the person prefers. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client's goals and lifestyle.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a full-session conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can help when people prefer written reflection, want ongoing touchpoints, or need brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain momentum while balancing work, family, and other demands.
