About Tibor
Tibor Baukal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience. He focuses on emotional struggles tied to relationships, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, parenting, and large life transitions. Tibor also addresses anxiety, depression, stress, attention concerns, and difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem.
He helps people talk through problems with romantic partners, coworkers, school-related stress, and family members. He also supports those coping with grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, eating or sleeping concerns, and career pressures. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, blended family stress, body image, caregiving strain, and situations involving kink and alternative sex culture.
Tibor uses approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In sessions he encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings and works to help people notice patterns that keep causing pain. He aims to create an environment where people can express hard emotions without fear of being judged.
He frames each meeting as a chance to identify what matters most, sharpen coping skills, and try different ways of responding to stress. Tibor uses clear, direct language and practical steps alongside emotion-focused work. Many clients find this mix useful when dealing with relationship patterns, trauma responses, or ongoing anxiety.

How Tibor blends therapeutic approaches for online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep people stuck. It is often used when strong feelings and repeated relationship patterns are the main concern. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people notice and change those relational patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tibor collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and situation. He will discuss how emotion-focused work, ACT strategies, or attachment perspectives might help and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some clients prefer video for face-to-face interaction while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or a quieter setup. Licensed professionals can adapt activities and DBT skill practice for remote sessions to support coping, emotion regulation, and relationship reflection.
