Wendy Dunn, LMHC

Wendy Dunn is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and big life changes. Wendy focuses on clear, practical steps people can use day to day. She builds an empathic space where clients can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Sessions center on each person's history, strengths, and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Wendy uses a mix of approaches to suit what the person needs in the moment. Her work often addresses the effects of abandonment, attachment issues, and family of origin problems. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, substance issues, and body image concerns. These topics are framed in ways that connect to everyday choices and routines. Wendy often combines goal-focused techniques with deeper exploration of meaning and values. That can include short-term tools for relief and longer conversations about purpose and identity. The aim is to help people build coping skills and clearer self-understanding. Clients can expect a direct but compassionate style. Wendy helps people set practical steps between sessions and checks progress regularly. She encourages honest feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes meeting people where they are, offering understanding and respect while clients name what matters most. It works well for people who need space to sort feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it teaches concrete skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or from a quiet spot at home. It can also let someone use shorter check-ins when that fits the schedule or rely on video work when visual cues help the conversation. Ask about session length and how scheduling works when you complete the matching questionnaire.
