About Heidi
Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, depression, eating concerns, addiction, and major life changes. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Heidi aims to make the first sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She has five years of clinical experience across several settings, including acute psychiatric care, residential programs, and partial hospitalization.
How Heidi works
Much of her work has been in eating disorder programs and substance use treatment. She has seen people coping with trauma, grief, relationship struggles, self-esteem problems, anger, and the effects of attachment wounds. Heidi draws on a range of methods rather than one fixed formula.
She often uses client-centered talk therapy alongside evidence-based skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also brings in acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-focused thinking when those fit the situation. Sessions focus on building practical skills, improving communication, and helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
She works collaboratively to set goals and try methods that fit each person's life. Progress is measured in real-world changes rather than abstract tests. Her style is straightforward and warm.
Heidi encourages steady effort and realistic expectations. She believes trying for change, even in small steps, keeps hope alive.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck when change feels hard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and eating or substance-related behaviors.
Heidi treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and try different methods to find what fits best. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a full-session conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets someone share between sessions. These options can help people fit counseling into busy schedules and keep steady progress without frequent travel.
