About Terry
Terry Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who uses a mix of practical approaches to help people manage strong emotions and life stress. He draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help clients notice patterns, practice new skills, and make changes that stick.
Terry has six years of experience across hospitals, independent practice, and forensic settings, and he brings that background into each session. He focuses on issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress related to caregiving or work.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing trauma and post-traumatic stress, career transitions, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are aimed at real-life improvements, not labels or quick fixes. Terry favors a person-centered style that centers on the client's goals.
He blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral and dialectical tools to build practical skills. Mindfulness exercises are used to help people stay present and reduce reactivity. In sessions he listens for what matters most, then collaborates on small experiments and coping strategies people can try between meetings.
He helps people organize thoughts, practice new behaviors, and track progress in everyday life. Terry wants to create a straightforward, respectful space where someone can bring hard feelings and stressful life problems. He recognizes it takes effort to make changes and offers steady support while people try new ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches applied in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions by shifting focus from avoiding feelings to taking meaningful steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing anger through skill practice and small experiments.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Terry will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. The process is collaborative, and approaches can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and practicing skills with feedback. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to use video. Chat and messaging let people check in, get brief coaching, or send updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep up with regular practice and support.
