About Heidi
Heidi Wendenburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She works with adolescents starting at age 12 and adults up to age 65. Heidi helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, substance use, grief, and stress from life changes.
She began her career in an adult acute psychiatric facility and later worked across residential, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs for eating disorders. That background includes working in substance abuse programs through detox and partial hospitalization levels of care. These roles shaped her focus on eating and addiction-related concerns.
Heidi uses a mix of talk-based approaches. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among the methods she draws on. Sessions include practical conversation, skill-building, and attention to emotional experience.
Her practice includes work with trauma, self-esteem struggles, abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, and co-occurring conditions. Heidi also has experience with disruptive mood dysregulation challenges and with people adjusting to divorce or separation.
She aims to match approach to the person rather than rely on a single method. That may mean blending techniques from different models so the work fits what someone needs at the time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the approach feels right.
How Heidi blends approaches for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they shape important relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name and work through feelings that feel confusing or overwhelming. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action so daily life feels more manageable and meaningful.Heidi treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and practical needs, then suggest ways to combine EFT, ACT, or attachment-informed ideas. The plan can change as work progresses so the approach fits current concerns.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT and ACT tools to virtual meetings so the focus stays on emotions, values, and practical coping skills rather than the technology itself.
