About Wendi

Wendi Makus, LPC, offers a practical, person-focused approach to counseling. She views people as whole, not just a list of symptoms, and aims to help them make real changes that improve daily life and well-being.

She combines trauma-aware care with solution-focused work to address problems that feel stuck. Sessions often look at recent struggles and long-held patterns to find what gets in the way of feeling better. Wendi emphasizes understanding how past events shape current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while helping clients build healthier beliefs about themselves.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral strategies, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. These approaches are used to manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship problems, among other concerns listed in her specialties.

Wendi has 13 years of counseling experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She practices in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English. She does not work with international clients at this time.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Wendi’s Approaches Help Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when depression, anxiety, or life changes block progress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions today and helps people build safer, more connected ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Over a few sessions, they check what helps and adapt the plan to match how a person responds and what they want to accomplish.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel time. It can also allow brief check-ins that keep momentum between longer sessions, and offer a way to access consistent care when rearranging schedules is needed.
