About Tibor

Tibor Baukal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. He draws on 17 years of experience to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship strain, trauma, major life changes, or sleep and rest difficulties. He aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to share what is on their mind.

In sessions he prioritizes clear, direct conversation about what’s causing distress and what the client wants to change. He listens for how relationships and past experiences shape current patterns. Then he helps clients notice small, manageable shifts they can try between meetings.

Tibor uses approaches that emphasize values, emotional connection, and practical skills. He may draw from acceptance and commitment work to clarify values and goals. He also uses attachment-informed ideas to address relationship patterns and emotionally focused methods to help with intimacy and grief.

Many people come to him for help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping after trauma or loss. He also supports those dealing with addiction, ADHD, body image, and sleep concerns. He works at a steady pace so clients can try new strategies and report back what helps.

When someone is ready to begin, Tibor asks about current struggles and what a better day would look like. That information guides a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Approach-driven online support that meets daily life

Therapies Tibor commonly uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in small, meaningful steps while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns influence how people connect, and it can help with intimacy, trust, and grief. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses empathic listening to build a working relationship that guides change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tibor will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend an approach or mix of approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions can occur between obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and values-based work to work well in remote sessions when the format fits a client's routine.
