About Wenona

Wenona Wray is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses more specific areas such as body image, communication and control problems, panic and phobias, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges related to first responders and veterans. Her approach blends cognitive and experiential methods to help clients build practical coping skills and new perspectives.

Wenona regularly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. As a collaborative clinician she frames counseling as a team effort focused on developing insight, increasing emotional regulation, and creating actionable plans toward clients' goals.

Wenona’s background includes years of counseling experience both during military service and in professional practice, which informs a practical, respectful, and skills-oriented style. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English from her Texas practice.

Applying Proven Approaches to Online Therapy

Wenona commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as part of her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic. DBT emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and can be helpful for strong emotional reactions and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right path is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and needs and then tailors which methods to prioritize during online sessions. Clients and therapist decide together what tools and exercises will be most useful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so sessions can fit varied schedules and daily demands. These formats make ongoing contact, skill practice, and check-ins more accessible for people who need convenience or cannot attend in person, while still allowing therapists to teach and coach toward meaningful change.
