About Wendy

Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Wendy emphasizes respect for personal values and often works with clients who want a faith-centered, conservative therapeutic setting.

She helps people manage relationship and communication struggles and supports those dealing with grief, trauma, and intimacy-related issues. Wendy also addresses practical life concerns like parenting strain, career stress, sleep and eating problems, and challenges related to chronic illness or caregiving.

Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered listening. She uses these tools to help clients build coping skills, clarify personal values, and set manageable steps toward change.

Wendy also incorporates emotion-focused work and principles from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and attachment concerns come up. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through painful experiences without judgment and learn new ways to respond to old problems.

Clients who choose her practice can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that connect personal beliefs and daily choices. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the available times.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, sleep and eating problems, and managing addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and empathy so clients can find their own solutions and build self-understanding.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what online options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because sessions may be scheduled around work, caregiving, or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed, and it removes travel time so people can focus on practical steps and coping strategies during regular days.
