About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, parenting pressures, grief, and other life changes.
Wendy keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what is happening at home and in daily life, then works with each person to set practical goals. Conversations focus on patterns that cause distress and on small steps that can change how someone copes with pressure and conflict.
Her work draws on several approaches including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, the Gottman Method, and mindfulness practices. That variety lets her match methods to specific concerns like mood problems, grief, intimacy-related issues, or parenting stress.
People commonly bring worries about abandonment, attachment, blended family problems, adoption and foster care, caregiver strain, chronic illness, body image, ADHD, and communication or control issues. Wendy addresses these concerns with problem-solving, skills practice, and a steady focus on everyday routines.
She aims to make the first steps less awkward and more manageable. If someone wants to try therapy, she asks a few questions to understand priorities and then outlines simple next steps. The initial conversations are about clarity and practical direction rather than jargon or long assessments.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. Online sessions using this approach let someone talk through family stress, parenting strain, or grief while the therapist follows the person's concerns and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings. Online CBT usually includes concrete skill practice, short assignments between sessions, and ways to track progress for issues like anxiety, depression, eating or sleeping difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful for managing intense moods, anger, and relationship conflicts when taught in brief, focused lessons that translate well to remote sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try a method, and adjust as needed so the techniques fit the client's situation and daily life. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as priorities shift.
The practical benefits of meeting remotely include fitting sessions into a busy household routine and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before you book. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to schedule short check-ins, work around caregiving duties, or use mindfulness practices at moments that arise during the week.
