Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Wendy Theriot integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and helps clients explore their own goals and values - it is helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening motivation for change. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. DBT offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for mood instability, relationship challenges, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wendy works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and together they tailor techniques that fit the individual’s circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. This collaborative stance helps identify which tools and strategies will be most useful.

Online therapy with Wendy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, allowing people to engage in ongoing work that fits their life commitments.
