About Heidi
Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anxiety and related concerns. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Her style aims to make therapy feel understandable and manageable for someone juggling a busy life.
Heidi began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility. She later worked in residential and outpatient programs for eating disorders, supporting both adolescents and adults.
Background and approach
She also has experience in substance use programs across levels of care from detox to partial hospitalization. Across settings, Heidi has worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. Eating and food-related issues are a particular area of focus in her background.
She has also supported concerns such as addiction, grief, anger, and relationship or communication problems. Her approach is flexible and tailored. She commonly uses client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and attachment-based ideas.
Heidi prefers to blend techniques to fit each person's needs rather than follow a single method. She brings five years of clinical experience to her work and practices in Texas. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's calendar.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Heidi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include straightforward tools and short exercises you can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on identifying personal values and learning simple mindfulness and action steps to move toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Heidi works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, pace, and preferences rather than using a single method for everyone. Together they track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care when travel or time constraints come up.
