About &

Dr. & Mrs. Wendy Durant is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She presents a warm and encouraging style and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and self esteem concerns. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting mood and behavior challenges such as depression, ADHD, anger, and trauma. She also supports people with intimacy-related issues, sexual concerns, grief, parenting questions, and career stress. Her practice draws on several counseling methods to match what each person needs.

Wendy blends client-centered and solution-focused work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. She uses straightforward strategies to address thinking patterns, emotions, and everyday coping skills. Sessions are tailored so conversations and goals fit the person sitting across from her.

She also brings complementary perspectives from naturopathic behavioral studies and life coaching practices to inform practical habits and self-care when appropriate. That background helps when clients want to address body image, shame, or impacts from trauma and relationship problems.

People who prefer an encouraging, practical counselor may find her approach useful. Therapy with her centers on clear goals, step-by-step tools, and ongoing support to help people strengthen self esteem, manage stress, and move toward the changes they want.

How her methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, listening, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people decide the pace and topics to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses clear, structured steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and behavioral goals. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify key emotions and how they affect relationships and personal patterns; it can be helpful for intimacy, attachment, and communication concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different methods and help you choose what fits your goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice strategies in real-life routines and bring immediate situations into sessions for discussion.
