Wendy Haynes-Britton , LPCC

Wendy Haynes-Britton is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Wendy aims to make first steps feel manageable and supportive rather than overwhelming.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Conversations are practical and straightforward. The goal is to help people find clearer choices and healthier ways to cope.

Wendy blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Relationship concerns are approached with evidence-informed tools, including elements of the Gottman Method for communication and connection. Sessions also address related issues such as codependency, infidelity, family problems, and communication breakdowns. Wendy works with people facing life transitions like divorce, midlife shifts, and questions about purpose.

She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, multicultural issues, panic attacks, personality-related challenges, and the impacts of intellectual disability on daily life. Wendy offers practical guidance, steady support, and clear steps toward goals.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Wendy commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and it focuses on what matters most so clients can take steps toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and tries simple, concrete behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past to decide which techniques to try first. Together she and the client test tools, adjust methods, and pick what feels most useful for the person's situation.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to get support between calls or when typing feels more comfortable. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and different communication styles.
