About Terry
Terry Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with six years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, trauma and related concerns. Terry also supports clients dealing with sleep problems, career changes, caregiver strain, and questions of life purpose.
He has worked in inpatient hospitals, private practice, and forensic settings. Those roles exposed him to a broad range of issues, including post-traumatic stress and challenges faced by veterans and armed forces members. That background shapes how he approaches therapy day to day.
Terry uses a person-centered stance that keeps the client’s goals up front. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness methods to offer practical skills and clearer perspective. Sessions focus on workable steps rather than only talking about feelings.
In a typical meeting he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and offers tools to interrupt them. He helps people identify values, reframe unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and practice present-moment awareness. The work aims to reduce reactivity and improve choices in frustrating situations.
Terry supports people navigating life transitions, career decisions, and relationship stress without labeling or blaming. He also addresses caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and issues common to young adults and men. Sessions are conducted in English for clients located in Texas.

How his approaches guide online work
Terry commonly pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. That can help with anger that interferes with relationships or goals. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce impulsive reactions.He also uses elements of Client-Centered and mindfulness-based work to keep sessions grounded in the client’s priorities. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and what feels most useful in practice.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit brief check-ins around a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Those practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while learning skills to manage anger and stress.
