About Wendy
Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues like low self-esteem and coping with caregiver strain.
Wendy provides a faith-centered, conservative therapeutic environment that respects clients' spiritual beliefs and personal values. She discusses communication problems, life purpose concerns, and patterns that make daily life harder. Her work includes addiction recovery support, help with intimacy-related and body image issues, and guidance for people coping with chronic illness or cancer.
Her approach draws on several practical methods, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. In sessions she focuses on naming feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing small changes that can make life more manageable. She helps people build coping strategies and stronger ways of relating to others.
Wendy aims to align therapy with each person's values and goals. She speaks English and practices in Texas. People who prefer a faith-aligned counseling style and clear, action-oriented steps may find her approach fits well.
Background and approach: With a mix of relational and evidence-based tools, Wendy helps clients translate insight into day-to-day actions. She often works on communication skills, relapse prevention for addictions, emotion regulation, and rebuilding routines like eating and sleeping. Sessions typically focus on concrete skills and tracking progress over time. She asks about values and priorities early so that therapeutic work connects to what matters most to the client.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Wendy often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult emotions and attachment patterns that affect how they relate to others. EFT is useful for recognizing emotional responses and learning new ways to respond in close relationships.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed actions, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. ACT helps when people want to act in line with their values despite painful feelings. CBT is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating routines, and habits tied to stress and addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss methods and help decide together which tools fit the client's goals and preferences. That shared decision makes it easier to try different techniques and notice what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent traveling to an appointment. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, communication skill practice, and homework so these can be done between sessions and applied to daily life.
