About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and parenting concerns. Her approach aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming and more doable for busy adults.
Wendy creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and everyday struggles. She listens closely and helps people name what is most important to them.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. Her work draws from client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's own goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to build emotional regulation.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help with focus and stress reduction. Wendy has spent over a decade helping people navigate relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, and work-related stress. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, attachment concerns, and body image issues.
Her experience includes helping people manage bipolar symptoms and trauma-related worries. In sessions she is straightforward and encouraging. People who reach out can expect practical strategies alongside space to process difficult feelings.
The aim is steady progress, even when life is busy or complicated.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Wendy uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and supporting each person’s own goals, which can help with parenting stress and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful and adjust methods over time. Together they set goals and pick skills that match the client’s needs, preferences, and daily routine.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick updates, brief reflections, or interim coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
