About Wendi
Wendi Hoag is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 25 years of practice. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, struggling with anxiety, or dealing with low mood. She also supports people facing relationship and family problems, and those trying to rebuild self-esteem and confidence.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations are shaped to the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all plan. She focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions as well as topics you want to talk through during them.
Background and approach
Wendi pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems that often underlie ongoing conflict. She can also help people manage life transitions, questions about purpose, and the effects of trauma or seasonal changes in mood. Work on infidelity, somatization, and women’s issues is included in her experience.
Sessions aim to be compassionate and sensitive while staying goal oriented. Wendi will collaborate on a plan based on what you need and what feels doable. She emphasizes small, concrete changes that add up over time.
If you decide to begin, expect a warm conversation about where you are now and what you want to change. The focus will be on building skills, improving daily functioning, and restoring a clearer sense of direction.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Wendi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on real-world change. One common approach involves building coping skills for anxiety and stress, helping people learn breathing, grounding, and paced thinking tools to reduce daily overwhelm. Another emphasis is on addressing relationship and family patterns by identifying communication habits and family of origin dynamics that keep problems repeating, then practicing different ways to relate.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. That means trying practical exercises, reviewing what worked, and shifting strategies if needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
