About Gene
Gene Hauser is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. He works with people carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, ADHD, depression, guilt and shame, and related life changes.
Gene prefers straightforward conversation and practical steps. He draws on client-centered work to listen closely and help people name what matters to them. He also uses existential ideas to look at values and meaning when life feels uncertain or stuck.
Mindfulness practices are part of sessions when helpful, with short exercises and grounding techniques that can be used between meetings. Motivational interviewing shows up in discussions about change, such as habit shifts, recovery, or career moves. Sessions focus on what the person wants to try next, not on labels or judgments.
Gene offers virtual telemental health counseling and frames work around coping skills, managing symptoms, and exploring purpose. He often helps people facing chronic pain, caregiver strain, end-of-life concerns, or veteran-related stress. He also supports those dealing with workplace pressures, midlife questions, or isolation.
People can expect practical recommendations and time to talk through difficult feelings like shame and guilt. Gene integrates life experience, faith themes when relevant, and attention to overall wellbeing. He encourages small steps that fit into daily life.
How Gene’s approaches shape online work
Gene uses client-centered methods that focus first on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps uncover both immediate concerns and small, achievable steps to try between sessions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, guilt, and everyday coping.He also brings existential therapy into talks about values, purpose, and identity. Those conversations look at how choices, roles, and beliefs fit together when people face life changes, grief, or questions about meaning. Together these methods help link day-to-day coping with longer-term priorities.
Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Gene will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of client-centered listening, existential reflection, mindfulness exercises, or motivational interviewing fits best. The plan can change over time based on needs, goals, and personal preference.
