Wendy Salazar , LPC

Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges tied to parenting and family life. She also supports people facing trauma, relationship problems, identity matters, and life changes. Wendy speaks English and Spanish and brings 20 years of experience to her work.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Clients can expect honest conversation and tools they can try between meetings. Wendy treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on strengths to guide change.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness work. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, practice calming skills, and notice patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas also shape how she talks about goals and personal stories.

Wendy has spent two decades in mental health settings across Texas and has worked with mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, parenting strains, and first responder stress. She holds the LPC credential and has experience supervising newer clinicians.

In sessions she aims to make the process collaborative and practical. Conversations focus on what matters now and what can be tried between sessions. The goal is steady, manageable progress toward clearer thinking, better coping, and stronger day-to-day functioning.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and decide on priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy encourages noticing the present moment and simple grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust strategies based on what seems to help. Decisions about techniques come from the client’s needs, preferences, and progress rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video or phone can be used for deeper conversations and skill teaching, while chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief updates, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family routines, or busy days and help maintain continuity when schedules change.
