Wenona Wray , LPC

Wenona Wray brings a compassionate, caring, and empathic presence to her counseling practice, drawing on many years of experience both as a Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Air Force and as a professional therapist. She approaches each client as an individual, recognizing that counseling is not a one-size-fits-all process and that different people benefit from different styles and interventions. Wenona focuses on helping clients gain practical skills, fresh perspectives, and deeper insight so they can reach their goals or resolve dilemmas with greater confidence and clarity.

Wenona uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy - a cognitive approach that helps clients identify and replace unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with more constructive patterns of thinking and action. She also incorporates psychotherapy techniques that create a neutral, respectful space for clients to explore concerns, process emotions, and work through challenges. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Wenona combines structured therapeutic tools with collaborative discussion to empower clients as active partners in the healing process.

Clients who work with Wenona can expect a team-oriented dynamic in which the therapist and client set goals together, build practical coping strategies, and measure progress toward meaningful change. Her practical, empathetic style aims to support sustained improvement and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Wenona commonly integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. DBT focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that are helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing reactive behaviors. CBT concentrates on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles when appropriate, helping clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward meaningful life goals while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. These approaches are explained in accessible terms and tailored to each person’s needs.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Wenona works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Licensed professionals and therapists often adjust techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Wenona offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier for clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from wherever they are.
