About Wendy

Wendy Key is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage complex life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered principles, to assist clients in addressing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and relationship concerns. Her work emphasizes practical coping strategies and gradual steps toward greater emotional balance and functioning.

Wendy creates a faith-centered, conservative therapeutic space that honors personal values and spiritual beliefs while focusing on healing from trauma, improving communication, and rebuilding self-esteem. She supports those navigating grief, intimacy issues, parenting strains, career stress, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or caregiving responsibilities.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that blends compassion with structured techniques to foster insight and lasting change.

Approach and Online Care That Fits Your Life



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-exploration and growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific challenges someone brings and then recommend techniques or combine methods that best fit those needs. Together the client and therapist check in and adjust the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home, work, or while traveling. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions around busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when routines change, while still working with licensed professionals who use structured, evidence-informed methods.
