Dr. & Mrs.

Background and approach

Wendy Durant is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 19 years of clinical experience.

She blends talk therapy and coaching skills developed over nearly two decades to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, ADHD, and sexual health topics such as BDSM and alternative sex culture.

Her training also includes naturopathic studies with a behavioral health emphasis and credentials in life coaching and play therapy noted in her background. Her therapeutic style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative, focusing on respect, sensitivity, and individualized care.

She combines cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered and solution-focused methods, mindfulness practices, and holistic interventions to shape practical strategies that fit each person’s goals. Sessions are tailored to the client’s needs with an emphasis on actionable coping skills, communication improvements, and emotional processing.

Clients seeking support can expect an encouraging approach that avoids stigmatizing labels and centers on empowerment and skill-building. Dr.

Durant frames therapy as a partnership, offering guidance, tools, and structured plans to help clients move toward greater well-being and clearer direction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Durant commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered therapy to guide her online work. Cognitive behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so the client’s priorities and personal strengths shape the pace and direction of therapy.

She also integrates emotionally focused ideas when addressing relationship and intimacy concerns, helping clients recognize emotional patterns and improve connection. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process; she works with each person to find which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity across locations, and use brief or in-depth exchanges depending on what works best for their progress.
