Wendy Salazar, LPC

Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She works with individuals experiencing parenting strain, ADHD, mood concerns, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. Wendy speaks English and Spanish and brings two decades of experience to her work.

She approaches sessions as a collaboration. Clients are treated as the experts on their own lives while she offers tools and guidance. Her style emphasizes the connection between emotional and physical health and looks at practical ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Wendy uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thinking and develop different responses to stress and mood problems.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people build awareness and calm, and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Narrative therapy ideas come into play when revising the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships.

Wendy has about 20 years of experience in mental health and holds a role as a licensed supervisor for new clinicians. She is licensed in Texas as an LPC. Prospective clients can expect straightforward, practical work that focuses on immediate concerns and longer-term growth.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Wendy commonly draws on client-centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the person and responding with empathy and support to help them set goals and make changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people build present-moment awareness and calm. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, concentration, and emotional regulation when practiced regularly.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and life situation. That plan can shift over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering sessions across different days or times. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions and carry those changes into everyday routines.
