About Thomas
Thomas Schenck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three decades of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and other life changes. He approaches each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
He spends sessions listening closely and helping clients name what matters most. Conversations are direct and collaborative, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier. He uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, deepen self-awareness, and improve close relationships.
Thomas has supported people working through a wide range of struggles. These include depression, sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, attention challenges, and coping after trauma or abuse. He also has experience with issues tied to caregiving, chronic illness, divorce, addiction, first responder stress, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
His work blends approaches like client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential reflection, relational tools from the Gottman method, and Jungian ideas about meaning. Sessions focus on concrete next steps and clearer perspective, not jargon.
He aims to make the process manageable for busy lives. People leave sessions with practical strategies they can use between meetings and a clearer sense of direction for the changes they want to make.
Approaches you can use in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals by following the client’s lead.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It gives clear strategies to manage anxiety, depression, sleep and eating patterns, and addictive behaviors.
Existential Therapy helps people examine meaning, choices, and values when facing life changes or grief. It can be useful for those wrestling with purpose, loss, or major transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That plan can shift over time as goals become clearer.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. People often find remote sessions save travel time, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and make it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use the same therapy tools online as they do in person, focusing on problem-solving, skills practice, and steady progress over time.
