About Heidi

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience, Heidi Wendenburg helps adolescents and adults manage stress, anxiety, eating concerns, addiction, depression, and life changes. She works with people dealing with trauma, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English. Heidi does not accept international clients.

Heidi’s background includes work in adult acute psychiatric care and in residential and intensive outpatient programs. She has substantial experience in partial hospitalization and specialized eating disorder programs for adolescents and adults. She also worked across levels of care in substance abuse and addiction treatment from detox through partial hospitalization.

In practice she combines talk therapy with several therapeutic approaches. Her methods include client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and attachment-based work. She describes her style as eclectic and adapts techniques to the person and problem at hand.

Heidi sees adolescents starting at age 12 and adults up to age 65. Common clinical presentations she addresses are anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, substance use concerns, borderline personality features, self-esteem problems, and difficulty adjusting to changes like separation or divorce.

Her practical approach emphasizes clear conversation about symptoms and daily habits. She helps people learn specific skills and strategies from evidence-based methods and discusses how to use those skills between sessions. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to arrange the first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where avoidance has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaching concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, mood, and eating-related issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Heidi will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques from these approaches. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a work break or at home; phone check-ins can be shorter and use less bandwidth while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT skills training, and ACT exercises to remote sessions so practical skill-building continues even when sessions are not in person.
