About Wendy

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what is hard. She encourages small steps and recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage.

Wendy uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. She listens first, then helps people identify clear goals and practical steps. Techniques range from thought-focused exercises to skills for managing strong emotions.

Background and approach

She has worked with many concerns that affect daily life. These include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses issues like parenting, intimacy-related worries, sleeping and eating problems, self-esteem, and career stress.

Wendy offers several clinical approaches to fit different needs. These include client-centered therapy that starts from the person’s experience, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. She also integrates relationship-focused tools when relevant.

Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Wendy works in English and practices in Texas. Her license is TX LPC 75551.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Wendy commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation begins with the person’s experience and priorities, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build understanding and trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical exercises to change behaviors and feelings.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation is a central concern. DBT offers concrete strategies for tolerating distress, managing intense emotions, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Together these approaches give options for mood, anxiety, relationship, and coping-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wendy will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and help choose or blend methods that fit. This collaborative process lets you try strategies and adjust as you learn what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try new skills between sessions, and get support without extra travel.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
