Wendy Haynes-Britton, LPCC

Wendy Haynes-Britton is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, anger, and depression. She keeps language simple and practical so parents and busy adults can follow along. Wendy aims to make the first step feel do-able and supportive rather than overwhelming.

She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. Sessions emphasize clear goals, coping tools, and steps people can use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the approaches she draws on to help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.

Wendy also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings remain. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy show up in her work through skills training and a nonjudgmental listening style. The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship issues and communication challenges.

With 16 years of experience in Ohio, she brings practical experience to common life stresses like midlife transitions, divorce, family conflict, codependency, guilt, and body image concerns. She also supports people dealing with panic, personality concerns, and multicultural issues.

Her manner is steady and direct, focusing on small steps that add up. Conversations cover what is happening now, what patterns keep coming back, and what to try next. Wendy meets people where they are and helps them move toward more manageable days.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try small changes that lead to different outcomes. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, panic, and patterns that affect relationships.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people define what matters most to them and take actions that match those values, even when uncomfortable emotions appear. ACT can help with trauma recovery, addictions, and life transitions. Wendy brings elements of Client-Centered Therapy as well, offering a listening style that aims to make people feel heard while they decide what changes to try.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Wendy talks with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging can help maintain progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical tools and consistent progress.
