Heidi Wendenburg , LPC

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility and later developed particular expertise working in residential, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs for eating disorders, supporting both adolescents and adults. Her background also includes work in a full continuum substance abuse and addiction program, spanning care from detox to partial hospitalization. Most recently, she provided services within a group practice setting.

Heidi works with adolescents beginning at age 12 and with adults up to 65 years old. Her clinical experience covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, borderline personality disorder, self-esteem struggles, substance use issues, and challenges adjusting to major life changes. She has extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of eating and food-related disorders and addresses related issues such as body image and co-occurring conditions.

Her therapeutic style blends talk-based interventions with evidence-informed methods. She commonly uses client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), adapting an eclectic approach to fit each person she sees. Heidi emphasizes persistence and hope in the therapeutic process, acknowledging that seeking help can be difficult and that continued effort can support meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people experiencing intense emotions or relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and solutions.

Heidi approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques from these models to match an individual client’s situation and adjusts course as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. These remote formats make it easier for people to maintain continuity of care when life changes occur, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support regardless of geographic constraints.
