Wendy Theriot, LPC

Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping people notice and shift thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better. She invites clients into a nonjudgmental space where they can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, mood challenges, and life changes. Wendy emphasizes small, practical steps that fit into daily life.

With 11 years of clinical experience, she has worked with people facing depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addiction and grief. She also supports those dealing with parenting stress, career strain, caregiving pressures, and compassion fatigue. Her approach includes attention to intimacy, body image, sleep and eating concerns, and focus or attention challenges such as ADHD.

Wendy blends client-centered care with practical tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses mindfulness techniques and relationship skills informed by the Gottman Method. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients try out new ways of thinking and acting between appointments.

People who come to her can expect straightforward conversations about goals, coping strategies, and small experiments to change habits. She works with issues related to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. Wendy aims to make therapy useful and doable within a busy life.

Her practice is based in Texas and she offers services in English. If you are ready to start, the usual next step is to complete the start process and schedule a first session.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Wendy commonly blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when appropriate. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, helping them tell their story and set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing strong emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts exercises and homework so they fit what someone is hoping to change and how they live day to day.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and the chance to use skills in real life between meetings. The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make check-ins quicker, reduce travel time, and help people try out new habits without rearranging their whole day.
