Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Wendy Theriot uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the client's perspective, building a supportive relationship that helps individuals explore their values and goals while feeling heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves with the client’s progress.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to connect from different locations within her licensure area. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while accommodating varying communication styles and life demands.
