Wendy Theriot, LPC

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She creates an open space where people can talk about hard things without feeling judged. She recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and validates that first step.

Wendy uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior strategies to teach skills for managing intense emotions. Mindfulness practices are added when grounding and present-moment awareness will help someone cope.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and addiction. She also supports people facing relationship struggles, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, and career concerns. Additional focuses include ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Sessions emphasize steady problem-solving, skill building, and practical steps that fit into daily life. Wendy listens closely, helps set clear goals, and adapts strategies as needed. She aims to help people find clearer direction and better ways to handle day-to-day challenges.

Wendy practices in Texas and works in English. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete the site's matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. In practice this means sessions start with what the person brings, and the therapist follows their lead to set goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication when feelings are intense.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and when to adjust them. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels useful for the individual.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or longer deep work depending on scheduling. Many people find remote sessions help maintain consistency and make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings.
