Wenona Wray, LPC

Wenona Wray brings a compassionate, caring, and empathic presence to counseling, combining military experience with professional practice to support people through life challenges. She served as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force and now applies that same dedication and teamwork to her work with clients. Wenona emphasizes collaboration - she views counseling as a joint effort that adapts to each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Wenona focuses on guidance and empowerment, helping clients develop practical skills, fresh perspectives, and deeper insight to reach their goals or resolve dilemmas. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a cognitive-behavioral approach that supports replacing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with more constructive strategies and action plans. She also uses general psychotherapy techniques to provide a respectful, neutral space for exploring issues and making sense of challenges.

Wenona is an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - which indicates formal training and state licensure to provide counseling services. She approaches each client as a team member in the therapeutic process, aiming to foster skill-building, problem solving, and lasting personal growth.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Wenona integrates proven therapeutic methods into online care to help clients manage difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - useful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wenona works collaboratively with each person to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work progresses. This partnership helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to receive consistent support while balancing work, family, or other obligations, and they make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions with a licensed professional or therapist.
