About Wendy

Wendy Theriot is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about hard things. She emphasizes listening first and meeting each person where they are. Taking that first step to reach out is framed as a brave move, and she acknowledges it in sessions.

Wendy uses clear, direct conversation to help people identify what feels off in their daily life. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's lead, and on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions when they fit, helping with stress, anxiety, and attention concerns.

Her areas of focus include relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, addiction and grief, and the practical strains of parenting and caregiver stress. She also addresses eating and sleeping struggles, anger, self-esteem, and career stress. Additional topics she works with include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, body image, chronic illness, and codependency.

Wendy has 11 years of professional experience and holds the LPC credential. She works with people on coping with life changes, building better communication, and strengthening emotional regulation skills. Her approach aims to be practical and compassionate while staying focused on each person’s goals.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward talk, active listening, and collaborative planning to set small, manageable steps toward change.

How Wendy blends therapy approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. The therapist aims to reflect what clients say and help them find their own solutions, which can help with relationship and self-esteem worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they’ll try things, adjust what isn't helping, and agree on short-term steps to try between sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Wendy about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to shape therapy to fit daily routines.
