About &
Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 19 years of clinical experience.
She practices from Louisiana and blends talk therapy with life coaching to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She combines straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered conversations. Sessions aim to identify practical steps a person can use between meetings.
She also draws on solution-focused work and mindfulness practices to help people notice small changes that add up.
Background and approach
Her style is warm, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works with each person’s values and goals. In sessions she listens, reflects, and suggests exercises or brief experiments to try outside of therapy.
Durant has training that includes naturopathic studies and life coaching alongside counseling. That background informs an interest in holistic strategies, but she frames recommendations around what the individual wants to try. She has experience addressing grief, parenting stress, career shifts, and trauma-related challenges.
People who find her approach helpful usually want clear, practical steps and a compassionate listener. The focus is on workable changes for daily life, whether that means improving focus and impulse control, repairing communication in relationships, or reducing persistent anxiety. To begin, she asks people to identify their immediate goals and then designs a plan that feels doable.
Sessions can include skill practice, problem-solving, and mindfulness exercises tailored to each person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person’s lead. Online sessions use that same stance to help a person name what matters most and set realistic goals that fit their life.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes. In remote work this often means practicing skills during the week, using worksheets or brief exercises shared over messaging, and reviewing progress during video or phone sessions.
Emotionally-focused techniques help people notice and name feelings and the patterns they create in relationships. When done online, the therapist guides conversations that deepen emotional awareness and helps the person try new ways of communicating between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. Video calls let the therapist and client use facial cues and screen-shared worksheets, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or coaching-style contact between scheduled meetings.
