Thomas Homrighaus, LPC

Thomas Homrighaus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers work on thoughts and everyday habits. He draws on many years of practical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with sleep or eating. His style is straightforward and strengths-focused, aiming to help people notice patterns and make small changes that add up over time.

He trained in psychology at the bachelor and master level, with additional postgraduate study in health psychology and behavioral medicine. Over 24 years he has worked in residential settings, providing individual and group care and supervising other clinicians and interns. That background gave him wide exposure to different problems and life situations from across the U.S. and abroad.

In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and daily routines. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies when those approaches fit the concern. Expect practical skills, clear feedback, and a focus on small, doable steps.

Thomas often helps with addictions, trauma and abuse, obsessive or compulsive patterns, bipolar and mood concerns, grief, and anger. He also works with intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, LGBT concerns, and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behavior.

People who choose him usually want a counselor who combines experience with practical methods. He encourages self-worth, values, and empathy while helping clients build routines and coping habits that support healthier days.

How practical approaches shape online therapy

Thomas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as core tools. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating struggles. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and support steady daily routines.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and strong reactions are part of the problem. DBT skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help in heated moments and recurring conflicts.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match approaches to their goals and preferences, and will adjust tactics as progress is made. Expect a combination of skills practice, short behavioral experiments, and problem-focused conversations.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, avoiding travel time, or choosing an appointment that fits a workday. Discuss practical scheduling and session length with the therapist when you begin so sessions match your daily routine.
