About Tanja
Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, and concerns common to LGBTQ+ clients, among other issues. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Tanja frames sessions around practical skills and clear goals. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then helps people try new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Mindfulness and client-centered techniques also appear in her work.
Sessions focus on building self-awareness and breaking unhelpful cycles. That can mean learning ways to reduce panic, practicing emotion regulation, or developing steps for smoking or vaping cessation. For caregivers and those facing adoption or foster care issues, she works on manageable coping strategies and communication skills.
Tanja also supports people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, body image, gender dysphoria, impulsivity, infidelity, and self-harm concerns. She offers concrete tools rather than abstract talk, and she guides clients toward small, testable changes.
Her practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English. People who want to start are asked to use the platform’s matching and scheduling flow to set up an initial appointment.
How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Online
Tanja commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises, between-session practice, and clear goals to reduce anxiety or manage mood. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action. ACT helps when someone wants to reduce struggle with difficult feelings and take steps toward what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy is used to prioritize the client’s perspective and pace, offering space to speak and be heard without pressure. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT for structured symptom work, then adding ACT or mindfulness tools if needed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not practical. They can also reduce the need to take long breaks from work or to arrange childcare, helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than around it.Areas of expertise
