About Tibor
Tibor Baukal is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of clinical experience. He uses relationship-focused methods like the Gottman Method alongside acceptance and attachment-informed approaches to help people navigate hard moments.
Background and approach
Tibor meets people where they are and emphasizes clear, practical steps in sessions. He works with individuals facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and trauma from abuse or neglect.
He also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, grief, and stress from life changes. Sessions aim to make emotions easier to name and manage so day-to-day life feels more manageable.
Tibor creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He listens closely and helps clients break problems into steps they can act on.
That often means building new habits, practicing communication skills, or learning ways to tolerate strong emotions. His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move toward meaningful action.
Attachment-based ideas inform work on closeness and trust. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
People who choose Tibor can expect straightforward guidance and collaborative planning. He frames therapy as a team effort with practical goals.
Getting started begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
How therapy approaches work online
Gottman-informed work focuses on communication and behavior patterns that affect relationships. It helps people notice interaction habits and practice new ways of talking and connecting to reduce conflict and increase understanding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where motivation or direction feels unclear.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations about closeness and trust. It helps people understand patterns that affect intimacy and build more reliable ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. Work is adapted over time based on what helps and what feels doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging supports short updates, homework, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
