Wendie is such a kind and understanding person. I had religious trauma from a religion that she knew nothing about. She was willing to learn new things in order to better help me. I know that I can talk to her about anything and she is able to fully see me and validate my feelings and position. Her empathy is amazing!

Hi, my name is Wendie Clemens. I’ll start out with giving you some information on my history and experience, then I’ll move on to explaining my approach to therapy. I have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy and I’ve been a licensed therapist for 20 years; I’m licensed through the state of Oklahoma as a Licensed Professional Counselor and my license number is 3401. I’ve worked with several different populations, providing outpatient individual, family, and group therapy to adults, children, and adolescents; providing individual and family therapy to children and adolescents in the foster care system and their birth families, as well as providing supportive services to the foster families; and providing individual and group therapy for court-involved persons. I have experience working with clients who sought treatment for problems related to anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance use, family conflict, difficult relationships, issues related to changes in life, and other severe and chronic mental health issues. Over the last few years, I’ve also had extensive experience providing services through virtual means such as iPad, computer, phone, etc. so this service platform is comfortable for me. For 15 years of my career as a licensed therapist, I worked in community mental health; the majority of my clients there not only struggled with severe, life-long mental health issues but also struggled with other issues such as isolation, poverty, lack of resources, and the stigma of living with a mental illness. Working in that setting could be extremely demanding but those years played a significant role in my growth as a therapist (and a person) and the experience of serving those clients, as well as having the honor of sharing their lives, was overall richly rewarding for me.
In my view, the relationship that develops between a therapist and client is part of the healing process and I do my best to develop and maintain a positive, healthy relationship with clients. You’re the one looking for help, so I look to you to determine what we discuss in therapy sessions, what you’d like to accomplish in therapy, and how you’ll know you’ve finished therapy. My part is to help you sort things out so you can see problems more clearly, understand yourself better, and feel more comfortable in making decisions about your life. I’m also here to help you find and learn different tools you can use to accomplish that. With that being said, I also recognize there will be times I may need to give you a little push to discuss something you’ve been avoiding, to express thoughts or feelings that may be difficult for you, or even to revisit your past in order to work through issues that may still be affecting you. All of that requires trust and a willingness to be vulnerable on your part, which is why I tend to emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship. Even though I value our relationship, I’m also human and I realize that I may misinterpret something you say, misunderstand what you’re trying to communicate, or unintentionally offend you or hurt your feelings. I don’t plan on this happening, but if it does, please let me know!! (No need to worry about being too blunt or hurting my feelings – I need to know these things so your therapy is helpful and it will help me grow and be a better therapist.) Most things we’ll be able to work through and that will help me understand you better – it can also help you as misunderstandings and unintentional slights happen in all relationships and you can use bumps in our relationship as practice in working things out in the “real world.” Regarding the technical side of things, I use tools and techniques primarily from Cognitive-Behavioral based therapies, Person-Centered Therapy, and I incorporate mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I’ll also throw this out – if at any point in our work together you find that we’re just not relating, you’ve gone as far as you can with me, or I’m just not the right therapist for you, don’t hesitate to discuss this with me as it will be no problem for you to be matched with another therapist that may be a better fit for you.
This is just a general introduction so you have some feel for who I am and how I approach therapy; there is more specific information about meetings, confidentiality, etc. contained in the Informed Consent in the member information from already provided by the platform.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is amazing!
Helping me in ways I never knew I needed in my life. Quick to help with books, study work, tools, techniques…. I've only discovered therapy within the last year of my life, but it’s changed me for the better.
She is kind and helpful. She is insightful offering guidance and re sources .
Wendie is great, listens to me and has good ideas on dealing with the issues.
I felt like I was actually understood, she was able to clarify my experiences, responses, and what healing looks like over time.
Wendie has helped me have clarity in my next steps forward
I love and appreciate that Wendie checks in on me when she hasn’t heard from me in a while.
Wendie is a sweetheart! I have already benefited from having her as a therapist and I’ve only been a member for a few weeks. I only wish BetterHelp accepted my primary insurance for payment.
Wendie is so sweet and such a good listener. It comforts me to know that I can come to her when I need to talk and also when I need advice.
She is an effective communicator and so kind. Have been reading some books that she recommended. Very helpful!!
Wendie has made me feel comfortable from the moment I meant her. I truly feel like she gets me. I have taken away something very useful from each session . I’m thankful for her!
I absolutely love Wendie! She is so open to learning about new things and thinking outside the box. She has always been empathetic and a comfort to talk to. Over the past few months we have addressed a number of topics: faith crisis and religious trauma, suicide of a loved one, and childhood traumas. Wendie is very understanding, and has helped me process current issues and my past trauma. I highly recommend her.
Wendie is great. She's very helpful and I appreciate her input. I really like using the chat function for our sessions.
I like that she listens and offers feedback and homework.
Wendie is great. She heard me out with the problems in my thinking patterns that I wanted to address and she is helping me relearn different ways of thinking. It’s been so helpful this far and I can’t wait to see how it helps in the future.
She is great
Wendy has been great! She listens, encourages me while also making great suggestions to help me with addition approaches to help me identify and solve my problems.
Wendie is the best!!
Best therapist I have ever had and I don’t say that lightly. Don’t know what I would have done, she really cares.
Wendie Clemens is a true gem. She has gone above board and beyond to help me. She has researched my questions in her own time and giving me valuable help. I have recommended her to other people and I will continue to recommend her!
Wendi is amazing and by far the best therapist I have ever worked with
She has helped me normalize after nearly an entire life of being in a state of constant fear/flight. Definitely recommend :)
i love wendy! she is the best therapist i have ever had. would highly recommend her to anyone.
I love Wendie! She has helped me through a very rough time in my life. She is absolutely wonderful!
Wendie has been extremely thoughtful and supportive thus far.
Wendi listens and has provided good feedback on issues I'm dealing with. I feel comfortable talking to her.
She is very good at working with your schedule
Wendie has been a God send to me. She takes the time to really understand me and help me understand myself. She challenges me in a kind way to see where my behaviors need to be changed. She listens when I just need to talk. She has an intuition that most do not. I would recommend her to anyone. 10/10
Wendi is very good at listening and helping you figure out some rooted causes. Just by listening and allowing myself to talk it out I discovered a lot I am thoroughly impressed with her.
Wendie is a great listener and companionate. She is easy to talk to and always has some comments to either make you feel better or to bring a new perspective on a situation. I enjoy our sessions together.
When I requested a specific type of therapist I requested a female who was close to my age or older and I am 57 who is a Christian and would value my beliefs and would be open to using those beliefs in my therapy. Wendie is truly a cherished blessing. She checks in with me daily when she responds to my journals because I have them set to go directly to her which is an option, and when I send her verses she responds in kind. She does not push religion but she reflects it. She is wise beyond her years, she is gentle, she is kind, and when I excitedly asked her if she was open to trying to use cognitive behavioral therapy with me she told me that is her preferred form of therapy. I was very pleased. She is a blessing to me.
Wendi is a very experienced and wonderful therapist. I know I can always reach out and she gives me the space to talk through whatever my needs are.
Wendi is fantastic! Finding that safe person and place is essential when you unpack the heavy stuff! Wendi is your person!
Wendie is great! She is very attentive and gives advisement well. I always appreciate being able to speak with her.
I have had a very wonderful experience with better help. I’m so glad I found y’all and Wendie! Ty so much!
Wendie has good insight. She listens to what you’re saying and she has some good advice. She is down to earth and on my level, she is easy to talk to.
what a kind gem!
Absolutely wonderful to work with and has legitimately changed the trajectory of my life in less than six months. Cannot recommend enough
On one answer I clicked strongly disagree when it should have been strongly agree
I have only had one session with Wendie, but in that session she both, calmed my nerves regarding the session itself. But also was so receptive to everything I was saying and supportive. I was nervous so talking too much, and she was so wonderful and never made me feel like I was overwhelming her in the details. I would highly recommend her!
Wendie is an incredible human. Compassionate, patient, understanding, wise, strong and I am grateful for her faith. Can't thank her enough for being who she is and doing what she does, I know it can't be easy but she does it with such grace, wish more of us could be more like her.
Amazing
Wendie is one of the most genuine and caring people I have ever met! She listened to all my concerns and she offered great advice for the things is was dealing with. I know that her help was instrumental in me making cognitive connections that fast-tracked my ability to heal some serous childhood and family or origin trauma. She also gave me the great support and direction during the most painful marriage issue that I have ever experienced. Wendie is a gem and I highly recommend her to anyone that wants help from someone that knows what they are doing.
Wendie was great! She was sweet and gentle and had a calming presence.
