Background and approach

She blends talk therapy with skills training to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients can expect an approach that aims for clearer thinking and better daily routines. She uses tools to build insight, coping skills, and steady progress.

Her clinical toolbox includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods are adapted to each person’s situation rather than used in a fixed formula. Sessions focus on small, doable steps toward goals like better sleep, healthier eating, or managing panic.

Wenona also brings experience from military settings, which shaped her practical problem-solving approach. She emphasizes collaboration and respect during conversations. The work is paced based on what a person can handle and what they want to change.

For people using an online model, Wenona offers video, phone, live chat, and text messaging sessions. She helps clients choose the format that fits their life and keeps the work focused on the issues they bring to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers

Wenona commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive reactions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical strategies to change them and improve daily routines.

She tailors these approaches to the person in front of her. Picking the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and try approaches that fit best. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges become clear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular therapy easier to fit into life. These options let people meet from home, work around busy schedules, and continue work between sessions through messaging. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and practical needs while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
