About Wendy

Wendy Chinn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 15 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad background that includes work in public and higher education, a personal agency, and faith-based settings to support people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, career issues, and ADHD. Her style blends client-centered listening with practical, evidence-informed methods.

Wendy often incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, solution-focused strategies to target concrete goals, and trauma-informed practices when addressing past and ongoing hurt. Her approach emphasizes understanding each person's reasons for seeking help and partnering to build clearer goals and more effective coping skills.

Wendy earned a master's degree in Counseling and Human Development from Radford University and holds bachelor’s degrees in Communications and Psychology from Virginia Tech. She has been an LPC in Virginia since 2014 and offers sessions in English via multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Integrating therapeutic approaches through online care

Wendy often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood and then practice new, more helpful responses. She also employs trauma-focused therapy when past experiences are a central factor, using techniques that address the impact of traumatic events and support recovery and regulation. Both approaches are practical and goal-oriented, which can be especially useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and processing traumatic experiences.

Finding the best fit is part of the therapeutic process; Wendy approaches this collaboratively by exploring a client's needs, preferences, and goals and adjusting methods as those needs evolve. She emphasizes working together to set clear objectives and selecting strategies that feel useful and manageable for each person.

Online sessions make it possible to access client-centered, evidence-informed care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication, letting clients engage in therapy from wherever they are in Virginia and choose the format that supports consistent participation and progress.
