Wendy Dunn, LMHC

Wendy Dunn is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma. Wendy aims to be steady and attentive while people talk through what feels overwhelming.

She uses straightforward, practical methods to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions emphasize the person's story and strengths rather than jargon. Wendy helps people map small steps that add up to bigger change over time.

Her work also pays attention to life transitions and challenges tied to aging and caregiving. That includes issues like chronic illness, caregiver stress, and shifts people face as circumstances change. Her interest in these areas shapes how she plans short-term goals and longer-term care.

Wendy integrates a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and trauma-focused techniques. These approaches are chosen to match what each person needs and to make therapy feel useful from the start. She offers a calm space for people to sort problems, practice new approaches, and notice progress.

In sessions she focuses on clear steps and problem-solving when that fits. She also helps people sit with difficult feelings and build understanding about how past experiences affect current life. Her aim is to leave people with skills they can use outside the therapy hour.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them when they are facing stress, loss, or change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear, practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depression and to build better daily routines.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to process distressing experiences safely and to reduce how much past events interfere with current life. It includes stepwise techniques and pacing based on what a person can handle.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue care during life transitions or caregiving duties that make getting to an office harder.
