About Tibor
Tibor Baukal is a licensed professional counselor with 17 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and relationship strain. He draws on approaches that focus on feelings, values, and practical skills to help people make changes that matter to them. He works with people facing relationship problems, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and issues tied to work or school.
He also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
In sessions Tibor creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. He listens for what matters to each person and helps them notice patterns that get in the way of their goals. That simple attention often opens the door to change.
His methods include therapies that emphasize acceptance, emotional connection, and practical coping skills. Tibor mixes those ideas to match each person’s needs rather than use a single rigid approach. He frames goals in everyday terms so progress is clear and measurable.
Tibor works with parents on the strains that come with caregiving and adoption concerns, and he addresses issues like attachment, codependency, and commitment. He also brings experience supporting people in the LGBT community and those managing compassion fatigue. To start, Tibor asks people to describe what they hope will be different.
From there he outlines a plan that fits personal values and daily life. He encourages small, steady steps toward better balance and calmer relationships.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and connects actions to personal values. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction and steadier behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them; it can help people improve connection and heal from relationship pain. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which is helpful for strong mood swings, anger, and impulsive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work with this therapist. He will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust over time based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for emotional work, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress steady even when schedules change.
