About Wendy
Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to cope with anxiety, anger, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish for people located in Texas.
Wendy draws on about 20 years of work in mental health. She uses approaches that center the person's own goals and strengths.
Background and approach
In a session she listens closely, helps name patterns, and then tries small, doable changes to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her practice blends talk-based methods with exercises that change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or anger.
Mindfulness practices are introduced to help people notice feelings and calm reactivity in the moment. Narrative ideas are used to reframe difficult stories people carry about themselves. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find internal reasons to change.
Wendy aims for collaboration so decisions about pace and focus come from the person in therapy. Wendy has helped people navigate relationship tension, parenting challenges, work stress, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, sleep or eating disturbances, ADHD symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is straightforward and respectful, with attention to practical tools that fit each person's life. People who choose her often want clear steps, gentle accountability, and a therapist who will listen in both English and Spanish. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make participation easier for busy schedules.

Approach and options for online therapy
Wendy commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the work feel collaborative and person-focused. This approach emphasizes listening, building on strengths, and letting the person set goals that matter to them. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and respects their priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT involves practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping skills for anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and sleep problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Wendy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions are useful for more in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in option or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family, and other obligations.
