About Wendy
Wendy Salazar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years working in mental health. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She speaks both English and Spanish and aims for straightforward, practical support.
Wendy uses a collaborative style that puts the person's experience first. She treats the relationship as a working partnership and helps people build on their strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions combine talking through problems with tools you can try between meetings. Her methods draw from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help manage unhelpful thoughts and physical reactions. She also uses client-centered principles to follow a person's pace and motivations.
Motivational interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Wendy has worked across many concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and work-related compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with family stress, parenting strain, blended family questions, and immigration-related pressures.
People meet with her through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She describes therapy as a step-by-step process where the focus shifts as needs change. Practical coping skills and clearer communication are common goals in her work.

Approaches that fit online parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people feel heard and can clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to shift them. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all, and it allows the plan to change if something isn't helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and texting work well for short updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
