About Thomas
Thomas Homrighaus is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 24 years of clinical work. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. He also helps with sleep and eating problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and OCD-related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients.
Tom trained in psychology at the bachelor and master level with additional postgraduate study in health psychology and behavioral medicine. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness approaches in straightforward, skills-based work. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are part of his toolkit when helping people set practical goals.
His background includes many years in residential treatment where he ran groups, provided individual counseling, supervised clinicians and interns, and trained staff. That work involved people from across the U.S. and other countries and exposed him to a wide range of problems and life situations.
In sessions he often emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, learning coping skills, and practicing small behavior changes. He uses structured exercises and brief skill-building tasks between meetings. For people struggling with addictions, compulsive behaviors, or acute stress, he blends motivational strategies with behavioral techniques.
Tom currently offers counseling to mature adults, young adults, teens, and parents who want clear strategies and practical steps. Before scheduling, confirm current session options and formats through the site’s booking flow.
How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness translate to online work
Thomas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and routines that keep problems going, then tests alternatives with simple exercises people can do between sessions. CBT suits anxiety, depression, sleep and many behavioral problems because it focuses on clear steps and measurable change.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT offers practical strategies for managing intense feelings and reducing risky behaviors in the moment. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactivity, which can help with stress, cravings, and intrusive memories.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can shift as needs change and different skills are practiced.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins, and reduce travel time. Some formats need less bandwidth or camera use and can be helpful when a quick skills review or a shorter appointment fits better into a day. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote meetings while focusing on practical tools and in-session skill practice.
