Wendy Theriot , LPC

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult emotions and life challenges. Her practice emphasizes listening and collaboration, helping each person identify goals and practical steps toward improved well-being.

Wendy works with a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and attention-related difficulties like ADHD. She also supports people facing eating and sleeping problems, intimacy-related issues, career transitions, and caregiver or compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems.

Drawing from client-centered principles as well as evidence-based approaches, Wendy tailors interventions to each person’s needs and preferences. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and works to normalize that step while offering steady support and practical strategies. Prospective clients in Texas can expect a thoughtful, strengths-based approach aimed at building coping skills, insight, and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Wendy integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration - it helps people feel understood and supports personal growth by focusing on their own goals and values. CBT is a structured, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT combines validation with skill-building in areas such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for strong emotions, relationship challenges, and impulse-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Wendy works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, try strategies, and adjust treatment as goals and preferences become clearer. She tailors interventions to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to connect from home or other convenient locations, accommodate varying schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible. These options support consistent access to therapy while allowing therapists and clients to choose communication styles that feel most effective for their work together.
