Heidi Wendenburg, LPC

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings experience from a range of clinical settings. She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility and expanded her practice to include residential programs, intensive outpatient care, and partial hospitalization settings, with particular emphasis on adolescent and adult eating disorder services.

Her background also includes work across the continuum of addiction care, from detox to partial hospitalization, and most recently she served in a group practice. Heidi works with adolescents beginning at age 12 and adults up to 65, supporting people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, borderline personality disorder, self-esteem challenges, substance use concerns, and difficult life transitions.

She often draws on talk therapy and integrates client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to tailor an eclectic approach for each person. LPC denotes Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential that authorizes clinical practice in Texas. Heidi recognizes that reaching out for help can be hard and emphasizes persistence - continuing to try can preserve a sense of hope.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then commit to actions guided by their values - it is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and struggles around motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy, relationship, and attachment concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and is commonly applied when strong emotions or self-destructive patterns are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Heidi works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to tailor care to the individual, and Heidi uses this collaborative process to guide those choices.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule regular work around daily life and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work to move forward.
