About Heidi

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents starting at age 12 on problems such as anxiety, depression, eating concerns, addiction, trauma, and parenting stress. Heidi’s practice often addresses relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and the practical struggles of day-to-day life.

She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility. She later worked in residential and intensive outpatient settings and in partial hospitalization programs focused on eating disorders for both teens and adults. Heidi has also worked across detox and substance-abuse programs, gaining experience at several levels of care.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods. She commonly uses client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Attachment-based ideas inform her work with relationship and parenting concerns. Heidi adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed protocol.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps alongside talk therapy. She helps people name unhelpful patterns, try small behavioral experiments, and practice skills to manage strong emotions. For someone coping with a life change or family strain, she aims for steady progress over time.

Heidi’s background includes work with complex cases such as co-occurring substance use and eating disorders. That experience shapes how she plans care and coordinates with other services when needed. People looking for help with parenting stress, communication problems, or recovery work may find her practical style useful.

How sessions work

How Heidi’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for people facing life changes, chronic worry, or avoidance patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests practical changes through experiments. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships affect trust, closeness, and communication. It can be useful when relationship patterns, parenting stress, or abandonment concerns are central.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heidi will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest methods that fit the issues at hand. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises, skills practice, and behavioral experiments to remote meetings so clients can work on change in everyday life.
