Hello there. My name is Wendy Weston, and I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Alaska since 2012. I graduated from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and got my Masters degree at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Let me tell you a little about my background.
Since 1999, it has been my privilege to assist families of all ethnic and social backgrounds in various situations. As a military family member myself, I understand the unique issues service members and their families face.
The relationship between therapist and client is essential. The more comfortable you are with your counselor, the more effective the counseling, which is why my approach is client-centered and solution-focused, meaning you decide what you want from counseling then we work together to reach that goal(s).
Sometimes, life’s challenges can seem overwhelming, taking away our confidence in our own abilities. It’s often helpful to have someone outside your life listen to your personal truths without placing judgment. Together, we will identify and use your strengths while adding new coping skills to meet your needs.
I’m excited to get to know you and begin working together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Wendy came along side me in an incredibly complex season of my life and helped me to process and navigate! Perfect timing, perfect person! I am so grateful!
Best therapist I have had in a long long time. She is so compassionate and kind. It’s super refreshing to not have to wear that mask to be taken seriously. I can be myself and still have the adult conversations I need. Thank you Wendy you have helped me make my life so much better and easier to live. ♥️
Wendy has really helped me in a time of need. She is a strong advocate for my well being and works with me to set goals and focus on moving the needle in the areas of my life I want to improve. She has great positive energy and excellent experience with many of the things I needed help with. I feel very lucky to have found her through Better Help.
Wendy was wonderful! I cannot express enough how grateful I was matched with her. I felt she really understood me and provided useful help.
very sweet and felt very comfortable with wendy
Wendy is amazing. She listens and helps me make connections with my current situation and my past trauma. She reassured me and makes me feel confident that I’m moving in the right direction. She makes things easy to understand and worked with my schedule as well. I highly recommend her!
Wendy is great! I have no complaints. :)
I couldn't have asked for a better person to work on myself with. Wendy is attentive, respectful, and kind. She is able to boost your confidence when you feel like you can't accomplish the work you've set out to do. She's readily available and will go out of her way to help if she can. She is wonderful!
I never felt comfortable reaching out for help and was reluctant to but the first call with Wendy, she helped me feel seen. I was able to talk about what was bottled up freely. I felt safe. She genuinely listened offering helpful advice that didn't make me feel like I should've known what to do during these events or after. It's been two weeks so far and I've learned so much and have feel lighter using the tools Wendy mentioned. Thank you.
Wendy is amazing,

Thank you Wendy!
After 2 sessions I feel like I have more inner peace and control of my life. It is so nice to have someone to talk with openly. Thanks Wendy for your help.
This is my first time in therapy. I was so scared and anxious about this whole situation but it really has been such a blessing to have Wendy. She always responds to me in a timely matter, Im truly grateful for how invested she is. So far she has been nothing but a positive contribution in my life.
Wonderful Wendy.
Wendy is like a valuable friend I can talk to about important personal issues
Doing great and helping make sense of what is intuitive. Thank you.
Wendy’s presence is kind and knowledgeable. She is able to help me to see things I hadn’t seems before.
She's great! Very helpful listening to your story and assessing what it is that may be the root of the issues you are working at overcoming.
I’ve only had one session, but I felt heard and seen. I look forward to this journey with her
She’s amazing really the best therapist I’ve had
I feel super comfortable and happy that I found a great person to work with!
Wendy hasn't wasted any time in getting to the heart of my issues. She provides “homework” for me to look deeper into myself and do some work for myself, which is much needed! She is kind and compassionate and sensitive to the importance of my faith. She truly is a God send!!
Great therapist . Has helped me navigate challenges. Great personality and easy to talk to. Very practical advice and very supportive !!
