Heidi Wendenburg, LPC

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing major life transitions and midlife concerns. She works with adolescents from age 12 and adults up to 65. Heidi focuses on practical talk therapy to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address eating and substance concerns. She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric setting and later worked across residential and intensive outpatient programs. That included partial hospitalization and specialized eating disorder programs for teens and adults. Heidi also has experience in substance abuse care spanning detox through partial hospitalization. Her day-to-day approach blends several well-known methods into a tailored plan. She commonly uses client-centered therapy to follow the person’s lead, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful thinking, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to clarify values and actions. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationship and abandonment issues. Heidi draws on five years of clinical experience and says she adapts techniques to each person’s needs. Sessions often involve talking through immediate problems, learning coping skills, and building routines that fit real life. She places emphasis on treating eating and addiction issues alongside mood, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. If someone is juggling parenting stress, identity shifts in midlife, or grief and loss, Heidi offers steady, practical support and collaborative planning. The goal is to help people find workable steps forward and rediscover reasons to keep trying.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and life change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values, which can be useful during midlife transitions and major changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build different interaction habits for healthier relationships.

Figuring out which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then try methods that feel useful. That collaborative tuning makes it easier to focus on skills and changes that actually fit a person's life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in on a break. They also let a person continue care across moves within the same state. The emphasis is on finding schedules and methods that help therapy become a consistent, workable part of everyday life.
