About Wenona
Wenona Wray is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and addictions. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, and major life changes. Wenona aims to give straightforward guidance and practical tools so each person can move toward clearer goals and better daily coping.
She draws on 18 years of experience that include time as a non-commissioned officer in the United States Air Force and her later professional counseling work.
Background and approach
That background shapes a direct and respectful style. Wenona listens, asks focused questions, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of progress. In sessions she blends cognitive methods with mindfulness and emotion-focused work.
She helps people replace unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with doable plans and skills. She also offers space to talk through feelings when that is what someone needs. Wenona describes therapy as a team effort.
She works with each person to set small, concrete steps toward their goals. Sessions include practical exercises, skills practice, and chances to reflect on what’s working. People can expect clear language and simple strategies rather than clinical jargon.
Wenona aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful from the first session onward.
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes, which is useful for panic, phobias, mood problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, helping with strong emotions, anger, and impulse-driven behaviors.Finding the best fit is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to pick approaches that match a person’s goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on real-life results and feedback.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in-session, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or use written prompts for reflection. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and different daily routines while maintaining a consistent course of care with a licensed professional.
