About Wendy
Wendy Foote is an Illinois-licensed clinical professional counselor with 18 years of experience helping people who want meaningful, lasting change. She focuses on deeper work rather than one-off venting, so she is a fit for people ready to do the effort therapy often requires. Her style aims to make hard conversations feel safer and more manageable.
Wendy creates a calm space for clients to talk about trauma, abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and eating concerns.
Background and approach
She encourages honest sharing about difficult feelings and helps people name what matters to them. The goal is clearer emotion, steadier reactions, and choices that reflect each person's values. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help people accept painful experiences while taking steps toward valued life choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available when practical skills are needed. Sessions in her work often include identifying painful emotions, tracking unhelpful patterns, and practicing new ways of responding.
Wendy helps people explore issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, addiction, and parenting pressures. She also addresses body image, codependency, shame, and a sense of emptiness. Wendy works in English and sees clients based in Illinois.
Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to the therapist's availability.

Online support
How Wendy’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Wendy often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name their emotions and attachment patterns, which can clarify why certain reactions keep happening. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so clients feel heard and can guide the pace and focus of their own work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as goals and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for doing this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break more easily. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing skill practice available between sessions. These options give flexibility to keep steady progress while balancing real-life demands.
