Wendy Contreras

Wendy Contreras is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and the life shifts that come with separation and divorce. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on 13 years of professional experience to support people seeking clearer direction and steadier daily routines.

Wendy approaches each person as the expert of their own story. She looks for strengths a person already has and helps them use those strengths to face hard moments. Sessions focus on practical steps that improve concentration, reduce panic, and rebuild self-esteem one small change at a time.

Many people come to Wendy worried about feeling stuck, overwhelmed by memories, or unsure how to move forward after big life changes. She works alongside clients to create manageable plans for coping, improving communication, and handling money or work stresses that often follow relationship shifts.

Her work includes addressing anxiety, panic attacks, and attention challenges such as ADHD-related concentration problems. Wendy also offers support around guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the isolation that can follow major transitions.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She helps people set clear goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and next steps

Wendy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional recovery. One common method she applies helps people build skills to manage anxiety and panic through repeated practice and breathing or grounding strategies; this approach aims to reduce the intensity and frequency of sudden symptoms. Another area of focus involves structured problem-solving and behavior changes to improve attention, motivation, and daily routines for those struggling with concentration and ADHD-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Wendy treats the process as collaborative - she listens to a person's goals and preferences, then tests methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions she and the client adjust techniques and set measurable steps to track progress.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can help fit care into a busy life by avoiding travel time and allowing sessions to occur during work breaks or between errands. It can also make shorter check-ins easier when a quick adjustment or coaching moment is needed. If video or phone options are important, ask about those when scheduling to find the best practical fit.
