About Wendy

Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas and brings 12 years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and changes in life. Wendy keeps sessions grounded and straightforward so people can take practical steps forward.

She also addresses concerns such as parenting, grieving, intimacy-related issues, and self-esteem. Wendy creates a therapy space that respects clients' personal values and spiritual beliefs.

Background and approach

She blends listening with structured tools so people can practice new ways of coping between visits. Her style is warm and direct; she talks through problems and helps set realistic goals. Her background includes training in several evidence-based approaches that guide how she structures sessions.

Wendy draws on practical methods to help with patterns of thinking, emotional responses, and relationship interactions. She uses techniques tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients work on skills for managing mood, regulating stress, and improving communication.

Wendy also supports people facing grief, trauma, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and life transitions. She pays attention to both immediate coping needs and longer-term growth. Wendy is licensed in Texas as LPC TX 73199.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via multiple online formats. The goal is steady, manageable progress that fits each person's life and values.

Evidence-based approaches offered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and then take steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will discuss these methods and help choose what fits a person's goals, needs, and preferences. The process is collaborative - goals and techniques are adjusted as people try them out.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and check in between sessions so people can practice new habits in real life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
