About Wendi

Wendi Lemoine is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping families and parents manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and other everyday challenges. She builds sessions around the person in front of her and looks for practical ways to ease parenting strains and family tensions. Her style aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable and direct, not overwhelming.

Wendi uses plain language and steady guidance to help people move forward.

Background and approach

She draws on methods that teach new ways to think about problems, shift emotional patterns, and set small goals that add up. Sessions often include learning tools for handling panic, mood swings, or sleep and eating disruptions. Her background includes a decade of direct clinical practice with children, adolescents, and their families.

Wendi holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and practices in Louisiana. She blends experience with an emphasis on collaboration, listening closely before suggesting next steps. Parents and caregivers can expect focused work on issues like parenting stress, family conflict, grief, and coping with life changes.

Wendi also supports concerns around addictions, self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, and compassion fatigue by breaking problems into manageable pieces and planning doable steps. Her approach values each person’s strengths and choices. She helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier and more connected.

For many families, that practical, step-by-step focus becomes the path out of feeling stuck.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and focuses on listening, understanding, and building on strengths. It helps when parents or children need someone to reflect their concerns and validate what they are feeling while exploring next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, panic attacks, mood shifts, and unhelpful thinking patterns that affect daily life and parenting choices.

Emotionally-focused therapy helps identify and change patterns in close relationships. It can be useful for improving emotional connection within families and addressing issues around intimacy, grief, or conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each family member about goals, try different methods when needed, and choose what fits the family’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, help parents attend without travel, and allow follow-up between sessions when practical. The variety of formats supports ongoing progress and flexible care.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
