About Wendy
Wendy Chinn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship problems, career concerns, and self esteem struggles. She brings 15 years of counseling experience and focuses on practical changes people can use in daily life. Wendy aims to understand why someone is seeking help and what they hope to change.
Wendy earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Human Development from Radford University in 2008 and holds bachelor degrees in Communications and Psychology from Virginia Tech. She has been licensed in Virginia since 2014. Over the years she has worked in public education, higher education, a independent agency, and religious settings.
Her style combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. She also uses mindfulness practices and trauma-focused approaches when these fit a person’s needs. Sessions emphasize clear goals, doable steps, and skills people can try between meetings.
Wendy often addresses family of origin issues, attachment and codependency concerns, communication and commitment problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people coping with life changes, pregnancy and childbirth issues, post-traumatic stress, and forgiveness or guilt and shame.
The work is collaborative: she listens first, then partners with people to create plans that fit their daily routines. She focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and increasing personal satisfaction over time.
