About Roy

Roy Sheneman is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three decades of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and issues with motivation and self-esteem.

Background and approach

He draws on long-term clinical work to help clients explore the patterns that shape their emotions and behavior, offering practical tools and empathic listening to guide change. His approach blends Internal Family Systems with client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies, creating space for clients to identify internal parts, clarify values, and practice new ways of coping.

Sessions emphasize open dialogue, collaborative goal-setting, and building confidence to manage life transitions and workplace or financial pressures. Roy aims to foster a respectful, nonjudgmental environment in which difficult feelings can be examined and constructive steps can follow.

Integrating approaches for effective online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to notice and name different internal parts and to relate to them with curiosity rather than judgment; this approach can help with persistent anxiety, shame, or conflicted feelings about relationships and identity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and respect for the client’s experience, creating a space where people can explore goals and values and gain clarity about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice alternative responses that reduce distress and improve functioning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust methods over time to support real-world change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different locations and to use formats that match their comfort level and schedule. These options can make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support during transitions or busy periods.
