About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who centers her work on evidence-informed strategies such as cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
She draws on 11 years of clinical experience to create a supportive atmosphere where clients can explore stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar symptoms, and relationship difficulties alongside concerns like addiction, grief, self-esteem, and career transitions.
Theriot combines client-centered listening with structured skills from DBT and mindfulness to address emotional regulation, coping with life changes, and issues related to intimacy, parenting, sleep, and eating.
Her practice also attends to more specific focus areas such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care dynamics, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and communication or control struggles. She uses a collaborative stance to help people clarify goals, build practical skills, and find pathways forward.
Clients meet with her using a range of remote session formats, and she acknowledges how beginning therapy often takes courage, offering steady support through the early steps of change.
Integrating Structured Skills with Compassion in Online Care
Wendy Theriot often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for concerns such as anxiety, depression, and certain patterns that interfere with daily functioning. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, focusing on empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while they explore goals and values. When emotional regulation or intense interpersonal patterns arise she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach skills in distress tolerance, emotion modulation, and relationship effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than predetermined. The therapist works with each person to assess their needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts elements from these methods so treatment fits the individual. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most useful and to adjust the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to attend regularly around work, family, or health demands and allow people to continue skill practice and check-ins in between longer sessions when helpful.
