About Terry
Terry Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, stress, relationship concerns, sleep problems, anger, and career-related issues. Terry also supports those dealing with bipolar symptoms, caregiver strain, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and identity.
He has worked across inpatient hospitals, private practice, and forensic settings. That variety means he has seen issues at different levels of intensity and in different kinds of care environments. He draws on methods that help people notice patterns and try practical alternatives to unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Terry uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy concepts, client-centered approaches, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on concrete skills - spotting thinking traps, testing new behaviors, and building everyday routines that reduce distress. He mixes listening with active skill practice in sessions.
People who come to him often want structured help for specific problems. He aims to work collaboratively to set focused goals and check progress over time. His approach emphasizes direct strategies you can use between sessions to manage symptoms and make decisions.
He offers sessions in English and practices in Texas as an LPC. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and any practical details they need to arrange.
How his approaches translate to online work
Terry commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thinking patterns that feed anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take action aligned with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep sessions focused on the person’s immediate concerns and goals, emphasizing listening and collaboration.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the process. He works with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress is tracked. This is a collaborative decision based on needs, goals, and what feels workable day to day.
Confirm the therapist’s current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins during breaks. Different formats may also let people choose sessions that do not require video when bandwidth or a quieter setting is preferable.
