About Thomas

Thomas Schenck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three decades of professional experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He speaks English and offers care through a variety of online formats.

He starts by listening so a person can tell their story in their own words. Thomas treats the client as the expert on their life and helps them identify strengths they already have.

Background and approach

He keeps the session focused and practical so people can notice small changes between visits. His work combines a few approaches to match each person’s needs. Thomas uses elements of Client-Centered work to build trust and keep sessions grounded in what matters to the client.

He also draws on Existential ideas to help people face life transitions and questions about meaning. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used when clients want concrete tools to reduce worry and change patterns. Sessions are intended to be collaborative.

Thomas helps set clear goals and checks progress as therapy continues. He also addresses specific issues like sleep, parenting strain, self-esteem, career stress, and recovery from trauma or addiction. Practical concerns are part of the plan.

He can work by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule. Starting is done online through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step that connects the person with the therapist.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Thomas blends Client-Centered therapy, Existential therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a strong working relationship so the client can guide what matters most. Existential therapy helps when people face big life questions, transitions, or struggles with meaning and responsibility. CBT offers straightforward tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and improve daily habits.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, and then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed, so methods can shift to match what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support short updates, homework, or ongoing contact between longer sessions, and they make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler.
