About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them and find clearer ways to cope. Wendy uses a client-centered stance, meeting each person where they are and listening closely to what matters most.
She blends practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, manageable changes.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm busy minds and improve focus and emotional regulation. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, grief, addictions, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, body image, sleep and eating challenges, and caregiver stress.
Wendy draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and communication skills, and she is familiar with approaches that address attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics. She also uses the Gottman Method principles to help people strengthen communication and manage conflict in partnered relationships. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth.
Wendy helps people set realistic goals, build coping strategies, and practice new skills between meetings. Her approach is collaborative - she works with each person to decide which tools fit their life and concerns.
