Wendy Weston, LPC

Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of counseling experience in Idaho. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and the everyday strains of life. She aims to build a collaborative relationship so clients feel understood and can take steps toward change.

Her background includes long experience as a first responder and work in the child welfare system. That history shaped how she approaches crisis, loss, and complicated life circumstances. Wendy uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes the person's goals and preferences during sessions.

In practice she draws on several clinical methods to match each person's needs. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action. She also works with mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and manage painful feelings.

Wendy has worked with people facing addiction and with LGBTQ+ concerns, and she brings practical problem-solving to relationship and family questions. She talks through thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and helps clients plan small, achievable steps they can try between sessions.

People who choose Wendy meet with a counselor who emphasizes partnership and clear goals. She encourages honest conversation about what is and isn’t working, and adapts methods to fit each person’s life and situation.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Wendy often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. She adjusts techniques as needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep appointments during work or caregiving breaks. Many people find skills practice and written exercises transfer well to remote sessions, and Wendy tailors assignments to what someone can reasonably try between meetings.
