About Thomas
Thomas Homrighaus is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience. He draws on a clinical background in psychology to offer practical, down-to-earth help for common life stresses. Thomas focuses on clear steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause distress. Solution-focused strategies keep sessions goal-oriented so people leave with concrete actions to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when people are unsure about making changes. Thomas has worked in residential settings and in individual and group formats, and he has supervised clinicians and interns. That background means he is used to simplifying strategies so they fit into everyday life.
He often combines practical skills with values-based work to help people reconnect with what matters to them. Parents who are worried about stress, anxiety, sleep or relationship strain often seek his guidance on managing daily pressures. He also addresses concerns such as addiction, trauma and grief, eating and body issues, anger, and mood disorders.
Thomas explains steps plainly and helps people find realistic, manageable solutions. Sessions aim to build strengths, improve coping, and create small changes that add up over time. Thomas emphasizes collaboration and tailors techniques to fit each person’s goals and routines.

How Thomas' Approaches Work Online
Thomas frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this method works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many daily stressors. He also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance for high-intensity feelings. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Thomas will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. He explains methods in plain language and encourages feedback so the therapy fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into work, school, or parenting schedules while using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
