About Wenona
Wenona Wray is an LPC with 18 years of counseling experience. She brings a steady, practical approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns. Her manner is straightforward and caring, aimed at giving parents clear tools they can use right away.
Wray draws on several therapy methods to match each person's needs. She often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help replace unhelpful thoughts and actions with more effective responses.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice thoughts and make different choices in daily life. Her background includes service as a non-commissioned officer in the United States Air Force and many years in professional counseling roles. That experience shaped a direct, team-oriented style that invites partnership in problem solving and skill building.
The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and is used here to indicate professional licensure in Texas. Sessions typically focus on practical skills, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Parents can expect to learn simple ways to handle overwhelm, manage reactions, and set boundaries that fit their family life.
Wray emphasizes doable steps rather than long lectures. She offers help for related concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, body image, first responder stress, and veteran and armed forces issues. The work aims to increase coping, reduce intense emotions, and support forward movement through life changes.

Therapy approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by clarifying what matters and guiding small, consistent steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. CBT is practical for mood disorders, panic, phobias, and changing behaviors that get in the way of daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve problem solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative discussion guides whether ACT, CBT, DBT, or a mix of methods will be used in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth situation, and messaging allows brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and travel while keeping sessions consistent and focused on progress.
