About Wendy
Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical support for people facing stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Spanish and brings two decades of experience to sessions. Wendy aims to create a calm space to talk about what feels overwhelming right now.
Wendy uses straightforward methods to help people manage mood, worry, and life changes. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and build steadiness in daily life. Her background includes long experience with depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, grief, and relationship stress. She also helps with parenting challenges, blended family issues, immigration-related stress, and first responder stress.
Wendy has worked in settings that emphasize whole-person care and the body-mind connection. Wendy holds the LPC credential, practices in Texas, and has about 20 years in the field. She also serves as a supervisor to clinicians entering practice.
Her style is collaborative - she invites people to name their goals and then tests approaches that fit their life. Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps people can try between meetings. The emphasis is on practical change, growing strengths, and reducing the day-to-day burden of worry and stress.
People who prefer conversation in Spanish can work with her in that language as well.
Approaches that translate to online care
Wendy commonly uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on each person's goals and priorities. This approach means sessions follow what matters most to the client and the therapist adjusts techniques to fit those needs.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify small, practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress by practicing new skills and tracking progress between sessions.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Wendy treats that as a collaboration: she will help you try different strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on your goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you see facial cues and work on skills in real time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to use therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
