About Wendy Foote

Wendy Foote is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 18 years of professional experience. As an LCPC she is authorized to provide clinical mental health counseling in the state and has spent nearly two decades supporting people through complex emotional challenges.

She has particular experience helping individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, those navigating intimacy-related concerns, and people working with eating disorders. Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of criticism, allowing clients to explore difficult material at a manageable pace.

Wendy emphasizes that healing often requires courage and sustained effort. She works with clients to develop practical ways to manage life more effectively and to build emotional security and a greater sense of peace. She may not be the right fit for someone simply looking for a single conversation about a bad day - her practice is focused on clients who are ready to make meaningful, lasting change and who are willing to engage in the hard work that change can require.

Approaches for Online Healing and Connection

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating-related challenges, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change strategies while teaching skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective interpersonal interactions - useful for clients facing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotional bonds and attachment, helping partners or individuals explore patterns in close relationships and work toward greater emotional connection and understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy Foote works collaboratively with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a plan that draws on these methods in ways that fit the client’s life and priorities.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy schedule and to receive support from different settings. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions, and can help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
