About Heidi

Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor offering compassionate, practical care for people managing stress, anxiety, depression, eating and substance-related concerns, and difficult life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on five years of clinical experience across acute psychiatric settings, residential care, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs, and group practice environments. Heidi’s background includes substantial work with eating disorder programs and addiction services that spanned detox through higher levels of care.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles. Heidi adapts techniques to each person’s situation rather than following a single formula, focusing on practical skills, emotional processing, and rebuilding coping capacity.

She aims to create steady progress even when change feels slow, and she encourages clients to keep moving toward their goals. Licensed in Texas (TX LPC 84401), Heidi offers sessions in English using formats that include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Her practice supports people facing trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family tensions, and a range of mood and behavioral concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical skill-building. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and coping with life changes by teaching tools to manage symptoms and problem-solve.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines acceptance strategies with values-driven action, helping people notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them and move toward meaningful goals. ACT can be useful for stress, chronic emotional difficulties, and improving psychological flexibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist collaborates with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative exploration may lead to a primary focus on one modality or to an eclectic blend of techniques tailored over time.

Online sessions make it easier to fit care into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options support continuity of care, allow different modes of communication for skills practice and check-ins, and help clients access consistent support without commuting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and attachment-informed work effectively across these formats to maintain momentum and build practical skills.
