About Wendy

Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, ADHD, mood disorders and the practical strains of life change. She speaks English and Spanish and uses a collaborative style in sessions.

Wendy favors approaches that look at thoughts, behaviors and present needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change patterns that keep problems going.

Her method blends conversation about current problems with skills practice. Sessions often include talking through recent events, trying new ways to respond, and reflecting on what worked. For parenting concerns she offers focused support and problem-solving rather than general advice.

Wendy has worked across many settings over two decades, including work with people facing grief, eating and sleeping struggles, anger, compassion fatigue, and career stress. She also lists additional areas such as attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, immigration-related concerns, infidelity and forgiveness work.

She presents herself as a collaborative clinician who helps people use their own strengths. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the platform steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice that means sessions begin with your priorities and the therapist reflects back to help clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers concrete exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and adjustment to new life stages.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as issues change or new priorities arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches, like CBT, adapt well to homework and worksheets between meetings, while Client-Centered work can focus on conversation and reflection during the session. Licensed professionals can adjust pacing and techniques to match everyday life demands.
