Wendy Salazar

Wendy Salazar is an LPC who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anger, anxiety, and big life changes. She listens first, and works with each person to set clear, doable goals. Sessions aim to build skills that help day-to-day functioning and restore a sense of control.

Wendy brings two decades of experience in mental health care in Texas. She emphasizes whole-person care that links body and mind, and she uses a trauma-informed lens when needed. Her background includes work with depression, mood disorders, ADHD, parenting concerns, and trauma-related issues.

In sessions she draws on several approaches to match what the person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and shape practical behavior changes. Mindfulness techniques teach ways to notice feelings without being swept away. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. Clients are treated as the experts on their own lives and problems are addressed in small, stepwise ways. Wendy also supports clinicians in training as a licensed supervisor in Texas.

Wendy works in English and Spanish. People considering work with her are encouraged to think about concrete goals they want from therapy, such as managing anger outbursts, improving sleep, or handling caregiving stress. This helps sessions move quickly into practical strategies.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Wendy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going and replaces them with practical actions that change how people feel. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and help with sleep, anger, and anxiety.

She approaches treatment collaboratively. The therapist and client discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. Deciding on the best approach is part of the first few sessions, and the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Regarding online therapy logistics, confirm available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills between sessions and apply strategies directly to everyday situations.
