About Wendy

Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate depression, anxiety, addiction, and major life changes. Wendy emphasizes respect for personal values and spiritual beliefs in her work.

Clients can expect straightforward, compassionate conversations about day-to-day stress and longer-term challenges. Wendy helps people build coping strategies for sleep and eating problems, manage anger, and address work and career stress. She also supports those working through grief, attachment concerns, and issues linked to adoption and foster care.

Her sessions often center on clear goals. Wendy blends acceptance and commitment techniques with cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities.

Relationship-focused tools such as emotionally-focused approaches and aspects of the Gottman Method are used when communication and intimacy are the main concerns. These approaches emphasize practical steps people can try between sessions to improve connection and reduce reactivity.

Wendy aims to create a respectful, faith-informed setting that honors each person’s worldview. She works with individuals who want practical skills, steady support through transitions, and help making daily life feel more manageable.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary by location and availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce distress, and it often includes homework and short practical exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client’s own priorities and pace during therapy.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they may try one approach or combine techniques to match what feels most useful.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and bring real situations into session conversations for immediate feedback.
