About Terry
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of experience, Terry Hancock focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationships, and related concerns. He has worked across inpatient hospitals, private practice, and forensic settings. Terry combines several practical approaches to help people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Terry uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. He draws from these approaches to address symptoms, teach coping skills, and help people make concrete changes in daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and straightforward strategies rather than abstract theory.
He has experience helping people manage sleep problems, anger, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. He also works with issues such as guilt and shame, life purpose, men's issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, post-traumatic stress, and young adult challenges. Those topics often overlap, and Terry focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and improve functioning.
Terry’s background includes inpatient care and forensic work, which informed his work with crisis situations and complex histories. In private practice he has supported people seeking coaching-style guidance alongside therapy. He aims to build trust and use collaborative problem solving to set clear next steps.
People who choose him can expect straightforward conversations, measurable coping tools, and attention to daily routines that affect mood and stress. He communicates plainly and works with clients to track progress and adjust methods as needed.

How Terry applies evidence-based approaches in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice painful thoughts without letting those thoughts control daily choices and is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses practical exercises and homework to change routines, sleep habits, and reactions that keep problems going.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple self-regulation skills. It can reduce stress and help when strong emotions or intrusive memories interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terry will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first, monitor how they’re working, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences. This is a practical, goal-focused process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. The focus remains on applying ACT, CBT, or mindfulness skills in real life and tracking small, measurable changes over time.
