Wendy Foote , LCPC

Wendy Foote is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 18 years of clinical experience. She works with adults confronting a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship struggles, eating and sleeping issues, anxiety and depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and family challenges. Her practice emphasizes helping clients manage life transitions, strengthen self-esteem, and develop practical coping skills for problems such as anger, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and parenting difficulties.

Wendy creates a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly, and she partners with clients who are ready to engage in meaningful, sustained work to make changes. Her approach blends evidence-based strategies with a client-centered stance to help people find greater emotional balance, improved relationships, and a clearer sense of purpose. She acknowledges that healing takes courage and time, and she guides each person at a pace that fits their goals and circumstances.

Wendy is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and brings nearly two decades of practice to her work. She may not be the best fit for someone seeking only brief venting on a bad day; instead she focuses on clients committed to making significant, long-term changes. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Wendy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside a client-centered stance to tailor online care. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and learning skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action - it can help with anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. CBT teaches practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for issues such as stress, mood concerns, and coping with trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, providing a supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood as they work toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so treatment fits each person's situation and readiness for change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when life gets in the way of in-person visits.
