About Wendy

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice. She centers her work on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore feelings, thoughts, and patterns that influence their well-being.

Background and approach

Wendy emphasizes collaboration, helping people take courageous first steps and build practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life transitions. Her approach integrates evidence-based methods to address a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, addictions, grief, and challenges around parenting, career, and self-esteem.

Additional areas of focus include attention-related difficulties, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress, attachment and adoption-related issues, and communication and control problems. Wendy adapts therapy to each person’s needs, supporting work on coping skills, insight, and meaningful change across personal and interpersonal challenges.

Integrating Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Inline with an internal systems perspective, Internal Family Systems (IFS) explores the different inner parts people experience and helps bring understanding and balance to internal conflicts. This approach can be helpful for trauma responses, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns by fostering compassionate internal dialogue. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own insight and growth, making it useful for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will explore which strategies feel most helpful and make adjustments over time to support progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and varied lifestyles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session rhythms, and access therapeutic support from wherever the client is located within Texas.
