About Wendy

Wendy Contreras is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice and works with clients who are navigating life transitions, concentration and memory concerns, and symptoms often associated with ADHD. Wendy emphasizes clients' strengths and encourages them to build on their own expertise to address personal obstacles.

Her approach centers on empowering individuals to take courageous steps toward greater satisfaction and functioning. She supports people through issues such as panic attacks, relationship communication problems, control struggles, feelings of guilt and shame, and the aftermath of separation or divorce.

Wendy also addresses concerns tied to life purpose, money and financial stress, isolation, and women's issues, offering guidance that recognizes each person’s unique story. Conversations can be conducted in English or Spanish, and sessions are available through a variety of online formats.

Wendy frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients discover practical strategies while building confidence and resilience over time.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Wendy frequently uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical tools and emotional processing. One common approach centers on skills training for anxiety and stress management, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce worry and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed work that helps people process painful memories and rebuild a sense of safety and self-worth after abuse or distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Wendy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages an exploratory stance in early sessions so that treatment can be adjusted as clarity about goals and progress develops.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regularly, try shorter check-ins or longer sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life changes occur. Licensed professionals can tailor session formats to support skill practice, emotional processing, and real-time problem solving in ways that suit each person's routine and goals.
