Wenona Wray , LPC

Wenona Wray brings a compassionate, caring, and empathic presence to her counseling work, shaped by years of service as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force and continued in her professional practice. She emphasizes that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor and approaches each person with flexibility, respect, and a focus on practical support.

Wray works collaboratively with clients to provide guidance and empowerment so they can build skills, gain insight, and develop new perspectives for reaching goals or resolving dilemmas. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - commonly called DBT - which is a cognitive approach that helps replace harmful or negative thoughts and behaviors with more effective plans of action and healthier thinking patterns. In addition to DBT, she employs psychotherapy techniques that create a neutral, respectful space to explore concerns and develop strategies for change.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - Wray combines clinical methods with an understanding of the unique stresses that come from both civilian life and military experience. She emphasizes teamwork between therapist and client, believing that together they can make meaningful progress toward improved coping, clearer decision making, and greater emotional balance.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Wenona Wray often integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her work. DBT focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, helping clients replace unhelpful reactions with more adaptive behaviors and clearer thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent approach; it explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers structured techniques to identify and shift patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other challenges. Mindfulness Therapy complements these methods by teaching present-moment awareness and practical exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wray collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so treatment remains responsive and client-centered.

Online therapy with Wray is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care, access support from a convenient location, and choose the format that best supports individual progress.
