About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they need to say. Wendy encourages small steps and clear goals to make progress feel doable.
Her approach centers on listening first and then using practical tools. Wendy draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Background and approach
Wendy helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those coping with career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and body image or eating concerns. Parenting stress and relationship communication are common topics she addresses in sessions.
She pays attention to attachment patterns, issues related to adoption and foster care, and challenges tied to autism and Asperger syndrome. Wendy works with people dealing with abandonment, codependency, control struggles, and commitment questions. Her work often blends problem solving with skill building.
Sessions can include mindfulness practice to reduce reactivity and short-term coaching to reach specific goals. Wendy aims to help clients build habits that last beyond the therapy room. She practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential.
Approach-Based Online Care and Practical Skills
Wendy uses client-centered therapy to place each person’s experience at the center of sessions. That means the conversation starts with what matters most to the client and the therapist follows that lead while offering guidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and unwanted habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy works collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person’s goals and day-to-day life. She will try practical exercises in session, check how they feel, and adjust the plan together as needs evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a quick verbal check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter updates, coaching-style prompts, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other routines.
