Heidi Wendenburg , LPC

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with a background in acute psychiatric care and specialized programs for eating disorders and addiction. She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility and later provided treatment in residential settings, intensive outpatient programs, and partial hospitalization programs that served both adolescents and adults. Her work in eating disorder programs for teens and adults remains a primary area of interest, and she has also worked across all levels of care in a substance abuse and addiction program, from detox to partial hospitalization. She most recently practiced with a group practice, bringing that breadth of experience into each therapeutic relationship.

Heidi works with people ages 12 through 65 and has treated anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, borderline personality disorder, self-esteem concerns, substance use, and difficulties adjusting to major life changes. She has extensive experience with eating disorders and approaches treatment with an eclectic, client-focused style. She commonly employs talk therapy, client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), tailoring interventions to the needs of each person. She emphasizes collaboration and holds a hopeful stance toward change - as long as a person keeps trying, there is still hope.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that hold people back. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions, and it supports rebuilding safety and trust in relationships, which is useful for abandonment, attachment, and intimacy-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it is often used for strong emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Heidi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She blends techniques as needed and adjusts the plan over time to fit what helps the client make progress.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or another comfortable space while working toward meaningful change with a therapist.
