Wendy Salazar, LPC

Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and other life strains. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on two decades of experience to offer steady, practical support. Her style centers on listening first and building on each person’s strengths. Wendy focuses on whole-person care that connects feelings and body responses. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small changes, and track what works. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing also appear in her work to support focus and movement toward goals. Her background includes 20 years in mental health and roles supervising newer clinicians. She holds a Doctorate in Integrated Behavioral Health and maintains her LPC in Texas. That experience shapes how she blends approaches for people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, mood concerns, and major life changes. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Clients are treated as the experts on their lives and the therapist offers ideas to test in real life. Conversations often include practical steps, tracking progress, and learning tools that can be reused when stress returns. People often come for help with relationship struggles, grief, career stress, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Wendy aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant so skills learned in session fit into day-to-day life.

How her approaches guide online work

Wendy often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on the person’s own strengths so goals reflect the client’s priorities and pace. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means approaches can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, lower travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work after life changes, since conversations, tools, and homework can move with you.
