About Wendy
Wendy Hunter is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday strains of parenting and relationships. She works with concerns like trauma and abuse, ADHD, self-esteem, addiction, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Her manner is warm, nonjudgmental, and straightforward, and she encourages clients to set the pace for change. Hunter draws on work from hospitals, stabilization units, community mental health programs, opioid treatment clinics, and independent practice settings.
Background and approach
That wide experience informs how she adapts sessions to meet practical needs. She listens for strengths and builds from what a person already does well. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person.
Hunter aims to be kind and honest, avoiding stigmatizing labels while naming real problems to solve. She focuses on practical tools people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and move toward goals. Her background includes long involvement in trauma-related care, child abuse treatment and prevention efforts, and counselor supervision and development.
This history guides how she addresses complex reactions after stressful events and relationship wounds. People describe her style as validating and supportive while also goal-oriented. She helps craft short-term plans for coping and longer-term strategies for growth.
The emphasis is on clear steps that fit everyday life and responsibilities.
Evidence-informed approaches and online access
Many clients benefit from trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods that help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This approach teaches coping skills for anxiety, depression, PTSD-related symptoms, and everyday stress.Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is another method she has used in trauma work; it focuses on reducing the intensity of painful memories and their emotional charge so daily life is less disrupted.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for full conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can suit quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options aim to make scheduling easier and to help people get consistent care while balancing family, work, and other responsibilities.
