Terry Hancock, LPC

Terry Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He draws on six years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges around work and life transitions. Terry aims to build trust and a straightforward working relationship so people feel heard and understood.

He has worked in inpatient hospitals, private practice, and forensic settings. That background means he is used to supporting people through acute episodes and longer-term change. He often helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and issues linked to caregiving, guilt, and compassion fatigue.

Terry uses a person-centered frame that borrows from cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions tend to focus on clarifying what matters to the client, learning practical skills, and making small changes that add up over time. He also offers coaching-style support for career shifts and life purpose questions.

People who identify as men, veterans, or young adults are listed among areas Terry focuses on, alongside work with post-traumatic stress and bipolar-related concerns. He tries to match techniques to each person rather than applying one fixed method.

If someone wants to begin, Terry encourages taking a first step and says asking for help takes courage. The process starts with a simple intake and moves at a pace set by the client.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness inform online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take small actions aligned with those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behavior, which can help with depression, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for trauma-related symptoms and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Some remote formats can offer shorter check-ins, sessions that do not require video when desired, or the ability to meet from a quieter space at work or home. Licensed professionals aim to structure sessions so skills and strategies can be practiced between meetings and applied to everyday life.
