About Wendy
Wendy Contreras helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and cope with big life changes. Wendy speaks English and Spanish and practices as an LPC in Texas with 13 years of experience.
She listens first, then works with each person to build on their own strengths. Sessions focus on improving concentration, managing panic or worry, and rebuilding self-esteem.
How Wendy works
Wendy also addresses effects of trauma and abuse in ways that match each person’s pace. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She helps clients break problems into smaller, manageable steps.
Together they set realistic goals and track progress over time. Wendy also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She works with concerns about money, loneliness, life purpose, and issues that can affect young adults and women.
Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work
Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage symptoms and build skills. One approach emphasizes practical skills training to reduce anxiety and panic, teaching breathing and grounding strategies and step-by-step exposure to worries when appropriate. This helps people lower immediate distress and practice new ways of coping.Another common focus is work on attention and organization for people with concentration and ADHD challenges. This involves simple routines, task breakdowns, and strategies to improve focus and memory so daily tasks feel more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Wendy collaborates with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. She treats the process as a team effort and checks in regularly to make sure the work fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, scheduling, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
