About Tanja
Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a calm, accepting space where people can bring difficult feelings and life challenges. Sessions aim to help clients name what matters, notice unhelpful patterns, and build simple coping tools to use day to day.
Her background centers on client-centered therapy, so the work starts with the client's perspective and priorities. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used as tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, relationship concerns, trauma, and related issues.
Tanja emphasizes practical steps alongside reflection. That might look like learning a short grounding skill, trying a new behavior between sessions, or testing a different way to talk about a problem. She encourages gradual changes that feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver strain, body image, grief around aging, and questions of gender and identity. Work on self-esteem, self-love, and reducing compulsive or harmful habits can be part of the plan.
Tanja approaches each person with respect and patience. She helps clients identify goals, choose strategies that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How Tanja Uses Client-Centered Work and Skills Online
Client-centered therapy places the client's experience at the center of every session. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters most to them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses simple exercises to test new ways of coping.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something is not working well. The aim is to find a good fit, not to force a single method on everyone.
