Wendy Foote , LCPC

Wendy Foote is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 18 years of professional experience. She has worked extensively with people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and eating disorders, guiding them through the difficult work of recovery and change.

Wendy cultivates an open and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. She emphasizes courage and persistence in the face of pain, and supports clients as they learn practical skills to manage life more effectively. Her aim is to help individuals move toward greater emotional security and a sense of peace over time.

Wendy is best suited for people who are ready to do meaningful work on their lives rather than someone seeking only brief reassurance on a bad day. For those committed to making a significant impact, she offers focused therapeutic support to explore underlying patterns, process difficult experiences, and build healthier ways of living.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Wendy Foote integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values - it can help with avoidance, painful memories, and getting unstuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and understood as they explore their concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools to address anxiety, low mood, and coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy stays aligned with what matters to the client.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit regular care into a busy life. These formats support consistent work on goals, allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate, and increase access to licensed professionals for people balancing work, family, or geographical limitations.
