About Thomas

Thomas Schenck is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three decades of clinical experience. He draws on long experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions, and he also works with clients around ADHD and related challenges.

Background and approach

He approaches each person as the expert of their own life and looks for strengths that can be mobilized toward change. His style blends practical skills with reflective exploration.

Thomas uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address thinking patterns and behaviors, and he integrates client-centered and existential perspectives to support personal meaning and agency. He also brings experience with intimacy and family-related issues alongside trauma, sleep and eating concerns, and substance-related problems.

Thomas aims to walk alongside clients as they take brave steps toward more satisfying and manageable lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes respectful listening and collaboration, helping clients identify their own goals and draw on personal strengths to manage stressors and life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related patterns, and addictive behaviors. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, values, and choices to support individuals facing transitions or questions about purpose.

Determining which approach or combination fits best is part of the work; the therapist collaborates with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for scheduling and access. These options let clients choose formats that suit their routines and communication styles, making it easier to maintain consistency while addressing concerns like stress, relationships, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
