About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, addiction-related issues, grief, and codependency. Wendy also addresses practical life problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting concerns, career stress, and coping with major life changes.
Wendy uses straightforward conversation to help people notice unhelpful patterns. She listens to how problems show up day to day and helps people try small, practical experiments to change them. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills that can reduce distress between meetings.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness practices. That mix supports work on thoughts, emotions, and behavior. It can be useful for managing anxiety, mood swings, impulsive behaviors, and difficulties setting limits.
Wendy also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship communication and patterns are part of the concern. She helps people name recurring interactions and practice different ways of talking so conversations are clearer and less reactive. This is practical, skills-based work rather than promises about outcomes.
People who come to Wendy often want to stop putting others first at their own expense, set boundaries, or handle caregiving and stress without losing themselves. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Wendy’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These skills are useful when mood swings, impulsive reactions, or difficulty setting limits are present.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. Wendy will help you decide which approach or combination fits your goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as you try strategies and notice what helps in daily life.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, reduce travel time, and let people use breathing or grounding exercises between commitments. If you prefer a particular session arrangement, note it when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
