About Tibor
Tibor Baukal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 17 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationships, family tensions, trauma and abuse, and the stress that comes with big life changes. Tibor aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.
He creates an open space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. Tibor listens for the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships, then works with them to find different ways to understand and respond to those stories. Drawing on Narrative ideas, Tibor helps people separate themselves from the problems they face and see options that were hidden before.
He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values. Attachment-based ideas guide his work with relationship and intimacy concerns. Tibor is comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, eating and sleep issues, and stress-related burnout.
He also helps people cope with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, body image, and caregiving challenges. Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit the person’s needs.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Online approaches that fit your story
Online work often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and see different possible life stories. This approach is useful for relationship issues, intimacy concerns, and patterns that repeat across situations.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions toward them. It can help with anxiety, depression, burnout, and decisions people keep postponing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness, which can be helpful for intimacy and family concerns.
Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose approaches and adjust them as therapy unfolds instead of committing to a single method from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and deeper dialogue. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review, or when a written conversation feels easier to organize during a busy day.
