About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 11 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, depression, and addictions among other concerns. Wendy presents herself as a clinician who encourages people to take the first step toward change and to reach out when they are ready.
Wendy works in a straightforward, client-centered way. She listens to what is happening now, and she helps people notice thoughts and habits that make problems harder to manage. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behavior, and she draws on DBT and mindfulness to add concrete skills for regulation and distress tolerance.
Her approach involves practical conversations and repeated skill practice. Sessions often focus on small, testable changes clients can try between meetings. She also uses relational methods, including elements of the Gottman Method, when relationship issues are a main concern.
Wendy supports people dealing with grief, burnout, caregiver stress, and complicated life transitions. She helps with intimacy-related concerns, body image, and difficulties linked to adoption, attachment, or abandonment. She also works with challenges such as chronic illness, sleep problems, and career strain.
People who choose Wendy can expect direct feedback and collaborative planning. She helps clients set clear goals and track progress. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Wendy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior patterns. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises and short experiments clients can practice between meetings to test what works.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes listening and collaborative goal-setting, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches aim to give practical tools for anxiety, relationship conflict, and mood regulation.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Wendy will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which combination of methods to use. That plan can change as goals evolve and as different skills are tried.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their everyday routines. Ask about session length and any scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
