Tanja Hoenscheidt, LPC

Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and related concerns. Her work emphasizes respect and affirmation for LGBTQ+ clients and attention to a wide range of life challenges.

Tanja keeps sessions person-centered and practical. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen self-love, and build coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Conversations move at a steady, understandable pace so people leave with concrete next steps.

Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, panic, and self-harm and self-esteem struggles. She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and body image.

Tanja uses several evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. She adapts these methods to match each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single formula.

Her practical orientation includes helping people quit smoking or vaping, manage impulsivity, and navigate relationship challenges like infidelity or communication breakdowns. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the person and therapist shaping goals together.

How Tanja’s Approaches Help Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then act in ways that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanja works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is working for the client.
