About Wendy
Wendy Weston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with eight years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and grief, and other life disruptions. Wendy also lists codependency among her additional focus areas and supports people coping with parenting, caregiver strain, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.
She began her career after completing a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling at the University of Idaho. Before focusing more on addictions, she spent time in child welfare and has 13 years of experience as a first responder. Those roles shaped her practical approach to helping people manage crisis, loss, and ongoing stress.
Wendy uses a client-centered style in session. She listens to how a person describes their problem, then works together to try options that can change thinking, behavior, and daily routines. Therapy can include practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices to reduce rapid emotional reactions and improve sleep and focus.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings are present. Dialectical skills are used when emotion regulation or intense reactions are getting in the way of everyday life. Sessions focus on clear steps a person can try between meetings.
Wendy holds an LPC credential and follows professional codes of ethics. Sessions are conducted in English in Idaho. To begin, readers use the site matching steps to schedule a first appointment and complete the intake questionnaire.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, codependency patterns, and making choices during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses step-by-step techniques to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies in session and adjusting based on what helps with day-to-day functioning and boundary-setting.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on high-stress days. Some formats also let people use shorter sessions for practical skill work or choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Ask about session structure and length when scheduling to match therapy to your routine.
