Wynona Russ, LPC - Therapist in Louisiana

About Wynona

Wynona Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. She has five years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. Wynona uses straightforward language in sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, mood disorders, and attention challenges. Wynona pays attention to cultural background and individual differences when planning care.

Background and approach

Her goal is to help people feel more capable and understood. In the room she blends talking and skills practice. Sessions often include identifying patterns, testing new ways of coping, and building small routines to improve sleep, mood, or communication.

Wynona draws from therapies that teach clear skills and offer space to process difficult memories. She emphasizes collaboration and keeps explanations plain. Clients set goals, and Wynona offers options based on what feels realistic for daily life.

Progress is measured by concrete changes rather than abstract ideas. Wynona holds LPC licensure in Texas and Louisiana - TX LPC 95165 and LA LPC 8218. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Appointments are available in several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they clarify goals and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep or eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be helpful for mood swings, impulsivity, and relationship tension.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options let people work on skills between sessions, check in by message when needed, and meet from different locations. For many clients this flexibility helps keep progress steady while balancing family, work, and travel.

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.

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.
