Working with teens and adults, Wendy addresses a broad set of challenges including relationship and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, substance concerns, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Wendy Dunn integrates several well-established approaches to meet individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people develop practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences, supporting recovery from abuse, violence, or other overwhelming events while strengthening coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values, build self-esteem, and clarify goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as treatment progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many clients. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These options can help people access licensed professionals from locations across Florida and fit therapy into busy or constrained schedules.
