About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She emphasizes creating an open space where people can talk about what matters without feeling judged. Wendy welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make that first step easier.
Wendy uses practical, person-focused methods to help people face stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness tools and some DBT strategies help when emotions feel overwhelming.
Her background includes supporting people with depression, bipolar symptoms, substance concerns, grief, and trauma. She also addresses intimacy issues, sleep and eating challenges, and concerns around attention and focus. Wendy helps people manage caregiver strain, chronic illness stress, and work or career transitions.
Wendy pays attention to patterns that come from attachment, abandonment, or blended family experiences. She also supports people dealing with body image, commitment and control issues, and communication struggles. Sessions focus on realistic steps people can try between meetings.
Throughout care she keeps language simple and practical. Goals and techniques are set together so people know what to expect. To begin, people typically complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns, and it works well in online conversations by letting the therapist respond to what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete exercises people can try between sessions to see what changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be practiced during and after sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That way techniques feel useful rather than prescribed.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports working on skills at home and trying real-life changes between meetings. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits into a person's routine.
