Wendy Chinn, LPC

Wendy Chinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Development from Radford University and holds bachelor degrees in Communications and Psychology from Virginia Tech. Wendy works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, career and relationship concerns, and other life changes including ADHD and self-esteem struggles.

Her approach mixes straightforward tools and listening. She uses client-centered methods to explore what matters to the person in the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and solution-focused methods to set concrete next steps.

Wendy’s background includes counseling in public and higher education, a private agency, and religious settings. That variety shaped how she helps people who are managing family issues, attachment concerns, codependency patterns, or the aftermath of trauma.

In sessions she aims to clarify why someone is seeking help and what they want to change. Conversations focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps to improve daily functioning. She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to affect current life.

People who come to Wendy often want to reduce overwhelm, set better boundaries, or rebuild after loss or crisis. She asks direct questions, outlines options, and works with clients to try specific strategies. If you decide to start, she will help map a plan and track small progress over time.
