About Wendy

Wendy Foote is an Illinois-licensed clinician (LCPC) with 18 years of professional experience who focuses on helping people move through complex emotional challenges. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles.

Background and approach

Wendy aims to support clients ready to undertake meaningful change rather than those only seeking brief reassurance. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can name painful thoughts and feelings and explore practical strategies for managing life more effectively.

She guides people toward greater emotional stability, improved coping skills, and clearer goals by combining evidence-informed interventions with empathic listening. Her approach is dedicated to steady progress and creating a sense of safety and emotional security for those willing to engage in deeper work.

Evidence-Informed Care Adapted for Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to relate differently to painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to patterns in important relationships, helping clients notice emotional responses and strengthen stable bonds when working through hurt or disconnection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor interventions from these modalities so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method. That flexibility helps clients try practical tools while staying grounded in their values and relationships.

Online sessions make it easier to access consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats support ongoing skill practice between meetings and can increase convenience for people balancing work, family, or other responsibilities, while allowing licensed professionals to provide focused therapeutic support from a distance.
