About Thomas
Thomas Schenck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 30 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and other challenges adults bring from home and work. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice does not take international clients.
Thomas frames the person as the expert in their own life. He listens for strengths and patterns that can be built on. In session he helps people name what isn’t working and try different ways of responding to it.
He draws on client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used when patterns of thinking and behavior cause avoidable distress. Existential perspectives help people face big life questions and shifts without rushing to quick fixes.
Thomas also uses approaches that address relationships and deeper meaning, including methods from the Gottman Method and Jungian ideas when they fit the person’s concerns. He adapts his style to practical issues like parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, addiction-related stress, and coping with grief.
People who come to him often want focused, straightforward sessions that connect daily life to change. He supports adults dealing with family and parenting stress, career pressure, trauma or the long tail of loss. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are used to get started.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps people clarify goals, notice strengths, and make choices that feel consistent with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful habits. Existential Therapy examines meaning, responsibility, and life changes to help people tolerate uncertainty and face difficult decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as priorities shift, and he encourages checking in about what is helping and what is not.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be scheduled to match work, parenting, or caregiving routines so therapy is practical and usable.
