About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a warm, direct style to make it easier to talk about hard things. She welcomes honest conversation and steady support as people take steps toward feeling better.
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person. Wendy blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Background and approach
She often adds mindfulness practices and relationship-focused techniques when they fit the person's goals. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. Wendy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills for strong emotions, and practice better communication.
She also addresses sleep, eating, addiction, grief, career stress, and life changes when those concerns come up. People who bring worries about trauma, attachment, or family-related stress will find a clinician who pays attention to history and patterns. She works with issues connected to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress, and supports people dealing with chronic illness and co-morbid conditions.
Wendy practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. Her style is collaborative and practical - the focus is on what helps most in daily life. She encourages taking the next step when someone is ready to begin.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Wendy draws on client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to shape online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people can talk through feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. She adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful for everyday life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to schedule regular work and keep momentum toward goals.
