About Wendy
Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction recovery, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Wendy also works with issues related to grief, trauma, parenting, ADHD, and life transitions that often affect young adults moving into independence.
Her approach blends direct talk with practical tools. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method. Sessions include exploring values, learning new ways to handle difficult thoughts, and practicing communication skills.
Wendy offers a faith-centered, conservative environment that respects clients' spiritual beliefs and personal values. She frames work around concrete steps people can try between sessions, such as small behavior changes and communication experiments. That practical focus helps with day-to-day problems like sleep, eating, work stress, and getting through a breakup.
She has experience helping people through addiction recovery, caregiver strain, chronic illness-related stress, and attachment-related concerns such as abandonment and adoption issues. Wendy also supports those dealing with body image, commitment and intimacy worries, and career-related stress.
Sessions are held with adults in Texas and are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed actions toward them. It can help with feeling stuck, life transitions, and persistent anxiety by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal life, which can improve communication and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and challenges. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, and EFT as needs evolve, and checking in regularly about what is or isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during busy days. They also let people use video or audio in ways that match what feels most manageable, and support tracking practice tasks between sessions.
