About Wendy
Wendy Theriot is an LPC in Texas who brings 11 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make that first step easier.
Wendy uses straightforward conversation to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. She integrates Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to notice thinking habits and test more helpful thoughts and behaviors.
When emotions run intense, Wendy draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical steps for regulating feelings and tolerating distress. Mindfulness practices are used to slow down and increase awareness of the present moment. The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship concerns and communication problems.
Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar, addictions, and grief. She also works with issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, and chronic illness. Wendy tailors sessions to each person's goals and life situation.
Conversations in sessions are direct and supportive. Clients can expect clear suggestions to try between meetings, skill-building in the session, and check-ins about what is working. Wendy aims to help people make small, practical changes that add up over time.
