About Thomas
Thomas Schenck is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 30 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, grief, and issues around intimacy. He also addresses ADHD, self-esteem, career questions, and blended family issues.
He frames the work around the client’s experience and strengths. Sessions start by listening to what matters most and clarifying immediate goals. Then he uses practical tools to help people manage emotions, rethink unhelpful habits, and handle everyday conflicts.
Thomas draws on several therapeutic approaches. He uses client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and build trust. He also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns and test new behaviors in daily life.
When relationship topics come up, he brings in ideas from the Gottman Method to help people look at communication and recurring patterns. He also integrates existential and Jungian perspectives when clients want to examine meaning, identity, or deep life questions.
His manner is direct and focused on usable steps. People who seek clearer thinking, better coping skills, or a steadier routine may find this practical style helpful. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used to set up the first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this approach let the client set the agenda and guide where the work goes, whether it's daily stress or relationship decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In online meetings this looks like identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes between sessions, and reviewing what changed. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and identity. Online conversations can give space to reflect on life direction, role changes, or questions about purpose that come up in blended households.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice may shift over time as needs change. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work breaks, require less travel time, or make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins when bandwidth or schedules are tight. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial matching and setup so sessions fit into everyday life.
