About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stressful life moments. Wendy speaks plainly and meets people where they are when they first reach out.
She focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship concerns. She also addresses trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, substance use issues, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Wendy helps with practical life problems too, like sleep and eating struggles, career stress, parenting strain, and managing ADHD.
Her approach centers on helping a person feel heard and understood. Wendy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to the person in the room. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation when needed.
Wendy also uses mindfulness strategies to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for addressing communication and relationship patterns where those issues arise. She adapts methods to what the person needs rather than pushing a single style.
Wendy aims to make therapy practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills that can be practiced between meetings, and straightforward feedback. If someone is coping with a midlife shift or other life change, she helps them sort priorities and move forward one step at a time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's priorities. Online or in person, this approach means the therapist follows what matters most and adjusts the pace and goals to the individual.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises and worksheets that people can use between sessions to track patterns and practice new skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be taught clearly in sessions and practiced as part of daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs and preferences guide decisions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled to match your daily routine and goals.
