Heidi Wendenburg

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. She works with adolescents from age 12 and adults up to 65. Heidi focuses on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, eating concerns, addiction, anger, grief, and parenting strain. She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility and moved into residential and intensive outpatient settings. Heidi spent much of her time in partial hospitalization and eating disorder programs that served both teens and adults. She also worked across levels of care in a substance abuse and addiction program, from detox through structured day programs. Her recent experience includes work in a group practice setting where she supported clients facing trauma, borderline personality challenges, self-esteem struggles, and life adjustments. She often combines talk therapy with practical skills training to help people handle daily stressors and relationship problems. Heidi integrates several approaches rather than using a single method for everyone. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, acceptance and commitment methods, and attachment-based ideas to match each person’s needs. She values steady effort and realistic hope. Heidi aims to create a collaborative space where people can try out new ways of relating to their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. If someone is ready to take the next step, she encourages using the site’s Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first session.

How Heidi’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical tools to change behaviors and moods. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be practiced between sessions to manage overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Heidi uses a collaborative process to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges. She adapts techniques from different approaches so sessions feel useful and realistic for each client.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing behavioral skills in the environment where problems occur, and it lets people review tools between meetings. Licensed professionals provide therapy remotely in ways that help people build new habits and manage anger, anxiety, eating issues, and other concerns without promising any specific outcome.
