About Wendi
Wendi Makus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who centers therapy on the whole person. She focuses on practical change and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and self esteem concerns. Wendi uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people find clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
Her approach looks beyond symptoms to the life behind them. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters and make meaningful choices. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and learn new ways to cope. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns.
Wendi has 13 years of clinical experience as an Arkansas LPC. That experience includes working with people facing grief, compassion fatigue, parenting challenges, career stress, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and a range of family and relationship problems. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, codependency, commitment issues, dissociation, and communication problems.
Sessions are aimed at clear, practical goals. Wendi uses narrative techniques and guided conversations to help people reframe old stories and try different behaviors. She encourages steps that fit into everyday life and focuses on skills that reduce distress and improve relationships.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability. Wendi practices in Arkansas and conducts sessions in English.
