Wendy Salazar, LPC

Wendy Salazar brings an integrated approach to emotional health that centers the connection between body and mind while remaining trauma informed. With over 20 years in the mental health field, she supports people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and blended family challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, relationship and attachment issues, and a wide range of life changes. Her practice emphasizes whole-person care that honors each person as the expert of their own experience and builds on existing strengths to promote resilience.

Wendy’s clinical toolkit includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure Therapy, and parenting support to address specific skills and patterns as they arise. She also offers supervision for incoming clinicians, drawing on her experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas to guide new practitioners. Wendy holds a Doctorate in Integrated Behavioral Health - a terminal degree focused on blending behavioral health strategies within broader health care contexts - and uses that background to inform collaborative treatment planning.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative; clients are invited to shape goals and the pace of work while the therapist provides evidence-informed methods and practical tools. Wendy works with individuals and families across a spectrum of concerns including stress, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and compassion fatigue, adapting interventions to meet each person’s goals and life circumstances.

Approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which the client’s experience and strengths guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration and is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related challenges because it offers practical tools and skills.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation. It can be useful for managing stress, anger, sleep difficulties, and patterns related to trauma and chronic worry.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Wendy Salazar works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Licensed professionals may blend approaches over time so care can evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy with Wendy includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and access support from wherever the client is located within Texas.
