About Heidi
Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, eating concerns, depression, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. Heidi sees adolescents starting at 12 and adults up to 65. Sessions are practical and straightforward, focused on what the person wants to change.
Before private practice, Heidi worked in an adult acute psychiatric facility and across residential and intensive outpatient settings. She spent substantial time in partial hospitalization and specialized eating disorder programs for adolescents and adults. She also provided care in substance use and addiction programs covering detox through partial hospitalization.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods. Heidi uses client-centered talk therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas when those fit a person’s goals.
In practice she leans toward an eclectic approach. That means drawing on different methods to match the problem at hand, whether it is anger that shows up at work or simmering resentment at home. Sessions often focus on specific skills, behavior changes, and clearer communication.
Heidi is familiar with common co-occurring issues such as trauma, borderline personality concerns, self-esteem problems, and substance use. She stresses steady effort over quick fixes and works with people who want realistic tools for daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Heidi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought patterns and test them with practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anger that links to repeated thinking or workplace stressors.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach concrete techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills are often used when someone needs tools to manage sudden surges of anger or to improve communication in heated moments.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. They then try methods and adjust as needed, combining approaches when that makes sense for the person’s situation.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk therapy and skills training translate well to remote work, and the therapist will help plan practical steps that fit daily life.
