About Wendy

Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and the fallout from trauma. Wendy emphasizes respect for individual values and spiritual beliefs in sessions.

Her work often centers on addiction recovery, building self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. She helps people talk through relationship struggles, communication problems, and ongoing stress at home or work. Her approach aims to make everyday coping feel more manageable.

Wendy uses well-known therapy approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose different actions. She also draws on emotionally focused and Gottman-informed ideas for relationship concerns. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented so clients leave with concrete steps.

The practice offers a faith-centered, conservative environment that honors each person’s spiritual perspective. That setting is meant to feel respectful and steady while people work on change and healing. Wendy describes the work as collaborative - she and the client decide what to try next.

People come to her for many concerns, including grief, parenting stress, chronic health or pain issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Those seeking help will find a clinician who focuses on real-world skills, clearer communication, and gradual progress toward chosen goals.

How her approaches translate to online care

Wendy uses acceptance-based and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and choose different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking action toward them, which can help with stress, grief, and long-term health challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. She will work with each person to test methods that match their needs and goals. Sessions are collaborative and adjust over time if a different technique would be more helpful.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow follow-ups after medical appointments or during caregiving breaks. Some formats can be less demanding on internet bandwidth or allow shorter check-ins when that fits a schedule. Discuss practical needs during the match process so sessions can be planned to fit everyday life.
