Thomas Homrighaus

Thomas Homrighaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience. He blends practical, strength-focused methods with cognitive and mindfulness tools to help people facing strong emotions and life disruptions. He describes therapy as a chance to find personal strengths and rebuild direction one step at a time.

Thomas draws on a background in psychology and additional study in health psychology and behavioral medicine. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside solution-focused techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and set achievable goals. Motivational interviewing is part of how he supports clients working through addiction or ambivalence about change.

His work history includes individual and group counseling, supervision of therapists and interns, and training staff in residential settings. That experience exposed him to a wide range of concerns from many backgrounds, which shaped a practical, down-to-earth style in session. He aims to help people discover values, increase self-worth, and develop empathy for themselves and others.

Common areas he addresses include stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, mood disorders, ADHD, sleep and eating problems, and anger. He also notes experience with obsessions and compulsions, personality issues, phobias, process addictions, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse.

Sessions focus on clear skills, short-term goals, and steady progress. Prospective clients should use the Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How Thomas Uses CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online

Thomas frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and step-by-step skill practice that can be done between meetings.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT-style skills are helpful for intense emotions and conflict, and they focus on concrete strategies people can try in daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and attention practices are taught and practiced in session to help manage stress and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Thomas collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He reviews options and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also support steady skill practice between meetings, which helps translate what is learned in session into real life.
