About Wendy
Wendy Haynes-Britton is an Ohio LPCC with 16 years of professional experience helping adults facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next. Wendy invites straightforward conversation about difficult thoughts and strong emotions so people can decide on next steps that matter to them.
Her approach combines several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions.
Wendy also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship work or communication skills are central concerns. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change now and what is practical between meetings. She will outline exercises and small experiments that can be tried between sessions to test new ways of coping.
People working through midlife questions, changes in work or relationships, or uncertainty about life purpose can bring those concerns to sessions. She also addresses body image, codependency, guilt and shame, infidelity, multicultural issues, panic attacks, personality concerns, and intellectual disability when they are part of a person's story.
Wendy conducts sessions in English from Ohio and holds the LPCC credential. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the site's online options.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and it supports choosing actions tied to personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, useful when anger or intense reactions interfere with daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That planning can shift over time as different strategies are tried and evaluated together.
Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend without commuting. The therapist will also suggest practical between-session exercises that fit into everyday life, such as brief mindfulness practices, behavior experiments, or communication rehearsals to try before the next meeting.
