Tanja Hoenscheidt, LPC

Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and complicated life changes. Tanja aims to make the first steps toward support feel clear and manageable for anyone who reaches out.

Her work emphasizes a person-centered style. She listens for each person’s goals and values, then helps them notice patterns and try practical changes. Common concerns she helps address include relationship and communication problems, parenting and blended family strain, caregiver stress, and issues related to adoption and foster care.

Tanja also supports people dealing with neurodiversity and mood conditions, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and Autism and Asperger Syndrome. She offers guidance around gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns, and she helps people who are coping with trauma, self-harm urges, or panic attacks.

Her methods draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she helps people build skills, try new behaviors, and practice small, useful steps between meetings.

Tanja lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas and can address caregiver burden and decisions that arise as people age. To begin, she encourages a simple conversation about priorities and practical next steps so care fits into real life.

How Tanja’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take steps aligned with those values, even when strong emotions are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and helps people try different actions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanja will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose strategies and adjust them over time based on what feels most helpful.
