Tanja Hoenscheidt

Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and difficult life changes. Her work also includes concerns related to ADHD, self-esteem, body image, and issues common in LGBTQ+ communities.

She uses plain, direct conversation to help people notice patterns that cause pain. Sessions often include practical skills to manage mood, reduce worry, and handle strong emotions. Tanja draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to help people make small, steady changes.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then offers options that fit each person's life and values. The aim is to help clients build self-compassion and workable routines rather than chase quick fixes.

Tanja also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they match a client's goals. These approaches help with accepting difficult feelings, improving emotional regulation, and focusing on meaningful action.

People seeking support with relationship struggles, communication problems, caregiving stress, or compulsive behaviors will find a practical, skills-focused approach. To start, she asks a few questions about current concerns and goals so sessions can begin with clear, realistic steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take actions aligned with those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and self-criticism. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that maintain depression, panic, or unhealthy habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when emotional reactivity or impulsivity is a concern.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist talks with each person about goals and preferences, then suggests a combination of methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and may be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. Many people find that working with licensed professionals remotely still supports steady progress through regular practice, skills coaching, and focused problem-solving.
