About Wendy

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name hard feelings and begin to sort them out. She encourages small steps and recognizes that starting therapy often takes courage.

Wendy uses approaches that focus on what a person is going through right now and how to build more coping skills. She draws on client-centered work to listen closely and respond to each person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness strategies are used when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed.

Her practice supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also works with concerns such as bipolar mood patterns, addiction, grief, and relationship difficulties. Practical life issues like career stress, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, and coping with life changes are part of her focus.

Wendy often helps with attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image struggles. She brings a steady, listening approach to complicated situations that involve co-morbidity, codependency, or communication breakdowns.

If you want to start, she asks people to take a small next step. The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling, so sessions can be matched to current needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening closely and following what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to organize feelings and set priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing habits that make life harder. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense moods and relationship friction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and situation. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and the therapist will check in about what is helping and what could be adjusted.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue care during life disruptions such as moving or change in work hours. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered techniques to remote work to help build skills and manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and everyday challenges.
