About Wendy
Wendy Hunter is an Ohio-based counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. She works with concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Wendy brings two decades of clinical experience to her work and holds the LPCC credential, which she uses in practice in Ohio.
She draws on experience from hospitals, stabilization units, community mental health, opioid treatment clinics, and independent practice. That background shapes a practical approach to problems that often feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete skills and clear steps people can try between meetings. Wendy’s style is warm and supportive. She emphasizes kindness, honesty, and collaboration.
Clients set the pace and she tailors conversations to each person’s needs. Her work centers on strengths people already have, and on building confidence and coping skills. She avoids stigmatizing labels and helps people talk through painful experiences in a way that feels manageable.
Wendy has particular experience with trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and first responder concerns. She also supports people facing life transitions, commitment and communication problems, grief, and forgiveness work. People can expect a steady, practical ally who listens and helps them create realistic plans for change.
Wendy combines empathy with clear guidance so progress feels doable even when situations are hard.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on processing trauma and building coping skills. One common approach is trauma-focused therapy, which helps people process painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity through guided steps and gradual exposure. Another is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful patterns to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Treatment is collaborative, and techniques are adjusted based on what the client finds helpful and doable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get brief support without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to use approaches consistently across weeks.
