About &

Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a licensed professional counselor with 19 years of experience based in Louisiana. She holds LPC credentials in Texas and Louisiana and brings a warm, encouraging presence to sessions. Her work often centers on practical goals and real-life problems that feel overwhelming.

She helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She also supports those facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, grief, parenting questions, and career crossroads. Additional focus areas include body image, commitment issues, communication difficulties, and concerns related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sexual culture.

Her style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. She uses client-centered conversation alongside cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques. Mindfulness and holistic ideas also appear in her plan when they match a client's needs.

In a typical session she listens, helps set clear goals, and offers strategies you can try between meetings. She works to tailor interventions to each person rather than using one fixed approach. That might mean practical behavior steps, reframing unhelpful thoughts, or short skills practice.

People who prefer an encouraging, goal-oriented counselor often find her approach useful. She invites clients to be part of a team effort to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

How her approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people articulate goals and feel heard. This approach is useful when someone wants a respectful, empathetic space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. The work often includes practical exercises and short homework tasks to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT is commonly used for stress, depression, and anxiety-related problems.

Emotionally-focused ideas help people understand and name core feelings that drive relationship and intimacy struggles. This can guide conversations about attachment, closeness, and moments that trigger strong responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on goals and preferences. You can expect a mix of listening, goal-setting, and agreed practical steps rather than a single fixed method.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be arranged to match your day-to-day life and goals.
