Heidi Wendenburg , LPC

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, eating concerns, addictions, and major life changes. She works with adolescents starting at 12 years and adults up to age 65. Heidi aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for someone juggling a busy life or feeling overwhelmed.

She draws on several therapy approaches to meet each person's needs. Heidi often uses client-centered talk, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused work are also part of her practice when they fit the situation.

Heidi’s background includes time at an adult acute psychiatric facility and work across residential, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs for eating disorders. She has experience in substance use treatment across levels of care from detox to partial hospitalization. That variety informs how she plans care and adjusts goals.

Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and steady steps toward healthier routines. For people coping with grief, trauma, intimacy challenges, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue, Heidi emphasizes small changes that add up over time.

She approaches each person as an individual and adapts methods rather than following a single formula. Heidi believes progress often comes from trying different tools and building on what already works in someone’s life. If someone is ready to start, she helps them map manageable first steps.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online care

Heidi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in daily life, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and making small moves toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult emotions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when relationship patterns or early bonds are central to the problem. That approach looks at how past connections shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating and feeling safer in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Heidi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and how to pace progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
