About &
Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Louisiana with 19 years of experience.
She combines practical counseling methods with a respectful, nonjudgmental style. Sessions are aimed at helping people move past stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, and disruptions in daily life. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, career challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy and sexual health questions, ADHD, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
Background and approach
She also addresses topics like body image, communication problems, and forgiveness. Dr. Durant draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs.
In sessions she keeps the tone warm and encouraging. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical strategies people can use between meetings. Conversations are tailored to each person’s goals and situation, with attention to what steps feel useful and doable.
Her mix of client-centered conversation, cognitive-behavioral tools, solution-focused planning, and mindfulness practices supports both short-term problem solving and deeper emotional work. People can expect clear discussion of goals, small actionable steps, and collaboration on a plan. Dr.
Durant also brings experience assisting people with concerns that fall outside typical therapy topics, including aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture, sexually addictive behaviors, and first responder stress. She welcomes international clients and works through video, phone, chat, or text formats.
How specific approaches work online and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflective conversation so people can clarify what matters to them and decide next steps. This approach helps with building self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and short homework tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and symptoms related to ADHD.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through strong emotions tied to relationships and attachment. It supports clearer communication and deeper emotional connection, useful when intimacy or relationship patterns are the main concern.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls approximate an in-person visit and allow face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional.
