About Terry
Terry Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He brings six years of experience from inpatient hospitals, private practice, and forensic settings. Terry aims to build a direct, honest therapeutic relationship and help clients move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
He uses a person-centered approach that puts the client's perspective first. That means listening carefully, checking in about what matters most, and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. Terry draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to manage intense emotions and strengthen coping when stress or trauma symptoms show up. In practical terms this can look like learning simple breathing or grounding practices, testing new ways to respond to stress, or setting step-by-step goals for change.
Terry also supports people with career concerns, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. He has experience helping veterans and others with post-traumatic stress and offers coaching-style work for those wanting clearer direction.
People who prefer straightforward, collaborative sessions may find his style fits well. He welcomes conversations about what a useful first step looks like and how therapy can fit into a busy life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small actions that move them toward a more meaningful life. It uses practical exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck in them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for managing stress, low mood, sleep problems, and career-related worry.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and increase day-to-day calm. These practices often pair well with ACT and CBT when emotions feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time as progress and feedback guide the plan.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People often find remote sessions help maintain consistency while they work on practical steps and coping skills with a licensed professional.
