About Wynona
Wynona Russ is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers help to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She practices in Louisiana and focuses on practical steps people can use every day.

Her work is straightforward and rooted in real tools. She uses client-centered methods to listen without judgment and to help people name what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new coping skills. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices are added when emotion regulation and grounding are priorities. Wynona also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, or complicated family situations.
In sessions she helps people break big problems into manageable steps and practice new ways of responding. She can work with issues like panic attacks, mood swings, eating and sleeping problems, and challenges around intimacy or self-esteem. Her approach is attentive to culture and life context.
Wynona pays attention to how identity and background shape someone’s choices and struggles. That sensitivity shows up in how she frames goals and sets realistic steps toward change. People who choose her often want straightforward feedback, tools they can use between sessions, and a calm space to sort through difficult decisions.
Wynona brings five years of clinical experience as an LPC and focuses on helping people move forward at a pace that fits their life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows the person's pace and helps them identify what they want to change, which works well for relationship, identity, and life-purpose concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep or eating concerns by breaking problems into small, practical steps.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. It is useful when someone needs tools for emotion regulation, impulse control, or relationship tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, adjust them over time, and set clear, measurable goals based on personal needs and preferences.
Online therapy makes it possible to use these approaches without traveling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats aim to offer flexibility so therapy can fit into work, parenting, or busy schedules.
