About Tanja
Tanja Hoenscheidt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle strong emotions and everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Her work aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for busy lives.
She offers a calm, accepting presence and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions often include straightforward skill building for managing strong feelings and improving communication.
Background and approach
Tanja helps people recognize unhelpful patterns and try different responses in real life. Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to reduce distress, handle impulsivity, and strengthen self-awareness.
She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. Tanja has experience supporting people through identity-related concerns, including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria, and she helps with adoption and foster care matters. She also works with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and a range of relationship and family-related stresses that affect individuals.
Practical issues like smoking or vaping cessation, panic attacks, self-harm urges, and rebuilding self-esteem are part of her scope. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth - she will work with clients to set clear goals and practice tools between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions aligned with personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which often reduces symptoms of anxiety, panic, and mood swings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong emotions and impulsive behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited transportation. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and real-time feedback. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easy to check in between sessions, practice coping strategies, or get brief support without scheduling a full session.
