01About Tori
Tori Hankey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings four years of counseling experience and a compassionate style to work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, and other life changes. She trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling.
Before counseling, Tori spent sixteen years as a professional dog trainer and running a dog-care business.
Background and approach
That background informs her use of Animal Assisted Therapy, where the steady presence of a therapy dog can help people feel calmer and more supported during sessions. In sessions she focuses on practical tools and clear goals. She combines cognitive approaches with attention to emotions and attachment patterns.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and exploration of how past relationships influence current struggles. Tori also works with people dealing with sexual addiction, psychosis, survivors of sexual abuse, and those facing spiritual questions. She aims to help clients build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward values that matter to them.
Her work often includes attention to communication problems, commitment or intimacy issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and career concerns. People who want help sorting through complicated losses or making sense of painful experiences may find her approach practical and grounded.

04Online support
How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift them. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships affect current connections and helps people change interaction patterns to feel less reactive and more connected.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That assessment can shift over time as progress and new concerns emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions accessible during life transitions or when managing medical or caregiving demands. Talk with the therapist during the match process to confirm which session formats are offered and how they can best fit into everyday life.
