Tanja Hoenscheidt, LPC

Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience practicing in Texas. She focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Tanja aims to help people find clearer ways to manage strong emotions and everyday pressures.

Her background centers on person-centered care that respects each person’s experience. She uses a mix of practical methods to help with mood concerns, attention and impulse challenges, and issues tied to caregiving and life transitions. She also supports people facing identity questions, trauma, and struggles with self-worth.

In sessions she listens first, then helps clients notice patterns and try small changes. She draws on approaches that include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavior strategies, and mindfulness skills. These tools are used to build routines, reduce reactivity, and strengthen coping steps.

Tanja pays attention to the stress caregivers carry and offers focused support for caregiver issues and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns related to adoption and foster care, aging, autism spectrum traits, and body image in individual work.

Overall her practice emphasizes steady, practical progress. She works with each person to set realistic goals and practice skills between sessions. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist who listens closely may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick actions that match their values. This can help with anxiety, depression, and difficulties that come with caregiving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to change mood and reactions, which is useful for panic, anger, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steady routines for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients try techniques, notice what fits, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help transfer gains from session to daily life.
