Heidi Wendenburg, LPC

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, eating concerns, substance use, and relationship strain. She works with adolescents starting at 12 and adults up to 65. Heidi focuses on practical coping skills and steady, straightforward conversation to help clients manage day-to-day challenges.

She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility and then moved into residential and intensive outpatient settings. Heidi spent significant time in partial hospitalization and eating disorder programs for teens and adults. She has also worked across levels of care in substance abuse and addiction treatment, from detox through partial hospitalization.

Her recent experience includes practice in a group setting, where she continued treating anxiety, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and difficulties adjusting to life changes. Eating disorders are a major area of interest and experience for her. Heidi’s work has included clients with borderline personality disorder and complex co-occurring concerns.

In sessions she often uses talk therapy alongside client-centered techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. She tends to combine approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than rely on one method alone. Heidi aims to create a calm, direct space where people can name problems and build skills to move forward.

She brings five years of clinical experience and a practical focus to her work. If someone has struggled to make progress elsewhere, she encourages continuing to try and views small steps as meaningful progress.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Heidi commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and issues with motivation. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas when relevant, which emphasize understanding how early relationships shape current patterns and keeping the conversation focused on the client's experience. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches together, and adjust the plan based on what helps.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, or reduce the need to travel. Online meetings also make it simpler to continue sessions during life transitions. The therapist will discuss practical details and help choose an arrangement that fits the client's schedule and preferences.
