Wendy Foote, LCPC

Wendy Foote is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 18 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who have experienced trauma and abuse, those struggling with intimacy-related concerns, and individuals working through eating disorders. Wendy creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere in which thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored, inviting honest conversation about what matters most to each person.

She recognizes that facing emotional pain takes courage and often requires support. Wendy partners with clients to build skills for managing life more effectively, knowing that meaningful change usually unfolds over time. Her aim is to help clients move toward a greater sense of emotional security and inner calm as they address difficult patterns and experiences.

Wendy is intentional about the kind of work she takes on. She does not position herself as a short-term sounding board for someone having a bad day. Instead she seeks to work with individuals who are ready to engage in the challenging work that leads to significant, lasting change. For those prepared to commit to that process, Wendy offers steady guidance and practical therapeutic support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Wendy Foote integrates evidence-informed approaches to help clients explore values, patterns, and skills in the context of everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms and improve coping across anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience, offering empathy and collaborative support so people feel heard as they pursue personal goals.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor a plan that can evolve as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while supporting consistent therapeutic work.
