About Terry
Terry Hancock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He brings six years of clinical experience from hospitals, independent practice, and forensic settings. Terry aims to create a straightforward, honest space where people can talk about what’s worrying them and start making changes.
He uses a person-centered style that centers the client’s goals and perspective. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices and acceptance strategies are used to manage difficult emotions in the moment. Terry also works with people coping with trauma and its aftereffects. He draws on dialectical skills when emotions feel overwhelming and when someone needs steadying tools for intense moments.
He helps people address sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career or life transitions. Caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose are additional areas he addresses. He also supports men’s issues, young adult concerns, and veterans facing post-traumatic stress.
Sessions mix practical skill-building with conversational reflection to fit each person’s needs. Terry emphasizes collaboration and trust when planning goals. He encourages small, doable steps and checks in about what’s working.
If someone wants a calm, direct approach that focuses on skills and real-life changes, Terry offers steady support to help them move forward.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where avoidance or worry gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to lessen reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to a person's goals and daily routine, and together they will try techniques to see what fits best. Plans are adjusted over time based on what the person finds helpful and doable, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill demonstrations and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Text and chat let people share short updates, practice skills between sessions, and have flexible check-ins that fit work or caregiver schedules.
