About Wendy
Wendy Hunter is a licensed professional clinical counselor with two decades of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. Her manner is warm and supportive, and she works at the client’s pace while offering honest, compassionate guidance.
She has practiced in hospitals, stabilization units, community mental health, opioid treatment clinics, and independent practice. That range of settings shaped her skills in crisis work and longer-term counseling.
Background and approach
Wendy also has formal training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, and trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy. Her style is collaborative and strength based. She uses practical steps and listens closely to the person in front of her.
Wendy avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on building the skills each person already has. In sessions she helps people sort priorities, manage strong emotions, and build routines that support recovery and growth. She also offers supervision and development for other counselors based on her experience working in varied clinical settings.
Wendy practices in Ohio and works in English. She brings a straightforward, kind approach that aims to make therapy usable in daily life. If someone needs focused help with parenting stress, trauma responses, or burnout from caregiving or first responder work, she can provide experience-informed support.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Wendy uses evidence-based trauma approaches such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. EMDR helps people reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided processing; it can be useful for past abuse, accidents, or other strong events. She also works with trauma focused cognitive behavior therapy, which combines talk therapy with skill building to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is helpful for trauma-related symptoms and anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That shared process makes it easier to adopt skills into daily life and to choose interventions that fit each person’s pace and comfort level.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to keep regular sessions while balancing parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities. They also give people flexibility to use shorter check-ins or longer sessions as required, all while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
