About Roy
Roy Sheneman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem questions, and career pressures. He also pays attention to areas like caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt and shame.
In sessions he keeps things straightforward. He listens without judgment and helps people name what feels heavy. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps could ease day-to-day strain. He uses familiar, plain language so people can follow along and make choices about next steps.
Roy draws on several approaches to guide work in the room. Client-Centered Therapy means he follows the client's lead and helps clarify personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, actionable changes that can shift routines and reduce overwhelm.
He is also informed by Internal Family Systems ideas, which look at the different parts inside a person that hold feelings like guilt, shame, and anger. Sessions often mix talking through a problem with short steps clients can try between meetings. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.
Roy practices in Texas and works in English. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and aims to clarify what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings and decide practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress and anxiety active, and it teaches ways to test and change those patterns to reduce day-to-day strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which blend of methods to try and adjust that plan as progress is tracked over time.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that fitting sessions into a workday or during a break helps keep therapy sustainable. Online sessions can also make it easier to keep appointments when travel or time are barriers. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy fit into everyday life rather than on a single model of delivery.
