Wendy Foote , LCPC

Wendy Foote is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 18 years of experience in mental health care. She works with individuals facing trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, anxiety and stress, and a wide range of life transitions and family challenges. Wendy emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name their thoughts and feelings and begin to face painful experiences with courage.

Her approach blends practical skills and compassionate listening so clients can learn to manage symptoms, rebuild connection, and find greater emotional security and peace. She addresses issues like grief, parenting struggles, attention and impulse concerns, addictive behaviors, and the emotional impacts of attachment wounds and abandonment. Wendy supports clients who are prepared to do meaningful, sometimes difficult work to make lasting changes in their lives.

Wendy holds the LCPC credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, a state license to provide professional therapy in Illinois. She is currently not accepting new clients.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Wendy Foote draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and develop practical steps to live with greater meaning, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports work on attachment and relationship concerns by exploring emotional responses and strengthening connection between partners or within families.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single method.

Online therapy via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make it easier to fit treatment into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats offer flexibility in how and when people access therapists and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across distance. Please note that Wendy is not currently accepting new clients, so availability for online sessions with her may be limited.
