Tanja Hoenscheidt

Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience in Texas. She helps people manage strong emotions and life changes. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Tanja aims to create an affirming, compassionate space for each person she sees.

Her style is client-centered and practical. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful patterns and building small, usable skills. She uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance-based ideas to help people respond differently to thoughts and feelings.

Tanja has experience with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood patterns, and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, aging and caregiver strain, body image, and identity matters such as gender and LGBT concerns.

Work in sessions often looks like setting clear goals, practicing new ways to cope, and checking what helps in daily life. She encourages self-compassion and stronger communication habits. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Clients who value a respectful, nonjudgmental listener and a focused, skill-based approach may find her style helpful. People are invited to bring their real everyday problems and leave with tools they can use between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions or who want clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, moods, and behaviors interact and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood management. Mindfulness Therapy builds simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for stress, impulsivity, and everyday emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan over time. Clients are encouraged to give feedback about what helps and what doesn’t so the work stays relevant to their life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, skip travel time, and check in from a quieter moment during the day. They also support using digital tools for between-session work, like worksheets and mindfulness exercises, which help practice skills between meetings.
