About Wendy

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience practicing in Texas. She creates an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Wendy encourages people to take the first step toward change and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

Wendy uses a client-centered approach that keeps each person's goals and pace at the center of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help reduce stress and increase awareness of feelings in the moment.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, and codependency. She also supports people navigating grief, career stress, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and chronic health challenges. Wendy helps clients address relationship and intimacy-related problems and communication or control issues that get in the way of daily life.

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, alongside talking through difficult experiences. Wendy emphasizes collaboration, so treatment is shaped around what the person finds most helpful. She aims to make progress feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

People who choose her often want a calm, steady partner for change, someone who listens and offers straightforward strategies. If you are unsure where to start, she will work with you to set small, useful goals and track what helps over time.

How Wendy brings CBT and mindfulness into online work

Wendy uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means she listens closely and follows what feels most important to the person. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice sensations and reduce reactivity, useful for anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions are shaped by what the client needs, and adjustments are made as progress is observed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. They also allow quick check-ins or focused skill practice without requiring longer commutes, helping therapy feel more manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
