About Thomas
Thomas Homrighaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and his background includes both psychology degrees and post-graduate study in health psychology and behavioral medicine.
Tom draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness alongside solution-focused and motivational approaches. He favors straightforward, strength-oriented work that looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to manage intense feelings. He also uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are helpful.
His experience includes individual and group settings, plus supervision and training of therapists and interns in residential treatment programs. That background involved working with people from many regions and life situations, and managing a wide range of concerns such as trauma, process addictions, OCD-related problems, personality issues, and sexual assault or abuse.
In sessions he helps people identify values, notice unhelpful patterns, and practice concrete strategies. Typical steps include checking current problems, teaching emotion and behavior tools, and setting small measurable goals. He offers practical skills for managing anger, reducing reactivity, and improving relationships.
Tom currently offers counseling for mature adults, young adults, teens, and parents who want experienced professional support. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling details through the site.
How therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions
Thomas commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help when strong feelings get in the way of daily life.He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice sensations and thoughts without automatic reaction. Mindfulness practice can reduce reactivity and support calmer responses during conflict and stress. During early sessions he and the client review goals and decide which mix of approaches fits best, and they adjust methods as needs shift. This is a collaborative process where the client’s goals and preferences guide decisions about techniques and pacing.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into session work without promising any particular outcome.
