Wendy Salazar, LPC

Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with twenty years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, parenting strain, grief, trauma, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar symptoms. Wendy speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for everyday life.

Wendy uses a mix of well known approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on building on a person’s strengths and on practical strategies for coping. She pays attention to how emotions affect the body and vice versa, and that often shapes the work in the room.

Her background includes two decades in mental health and a role supervising incoming clinicians. That experience informs a steady, experienced presence in sessions. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client’s knowledge of their life guides the plan.

In practice, Wendy blends problem-solving tools with listening and reflection. She may use skills to manage anxiety, exercises to shift persistent thinking patterns, and storytelling methods to reframe difficult experiences. Parents and people navigating major life changes can expect concrete steps alongside time to process feelings.

Wendy encourages people to bring what matters most into the session. The aim is to leave with clearer choices and usable tools for day-to-day challenges, whether coping with loss, repairing trust, or handling work and family stress.

How Wendy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Wendy often draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and can explore what matters most. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Wendy works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She treats the first few sessions as collaborative time to decide which tools and directions will be most helpful going forward.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, or for more flexible timing around work or caregiving. Talk with Wendy to match a practical format to your needs and daily routine.
