Wendy Dunn

Wendy Dunn is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Wendy aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn right away.

Wendy creates a calm, respectful space where people can say what they need to say. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps clients try out different ways to cope. Her style is warm and down-to-earth rather than clinical or distant.

Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Wendy uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

Wendy often addresses issues connected to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness or disability, caregiver stress, substance use problems, and relationship communication challenges. When trauma is part of the picture, she integrates trauma-focused strategies to work through difficult memories and reactions.

Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals. Wendy helps people build routines, rehearse different responses, and plan small steps forward. Her aim is to help clients feel more steady and capable between sessions.

People who prefer a collaborative, respectful approach tend to find her style helpful. Prospective clients in Florida should confirm current session options when they choose to start.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. The therapist reflects concerns, clarifies priorities, and helps people set steps they feel ready to try; this approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic presence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions teach concrete skills like spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and planning small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Work is paced to match what the person can manage and includes tools to handle intense reactions when they arise.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She regularly checks in and adjusts techniques based on what helps and what doesn't.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Wendy about which session setup will work best for timing, technology, and day-to-day life.
