Dr. Thomas Blank

Individual therapy

Support with personal challenges and psychological distress.

Rapid help in acute crises.

Couples therapy

Support for couples in conflict or seeking change.

Supervision

Professional reflection for colleagues in the psychosocial field.

All of these are also available online over a secure video connection, so you can attend from anywhere — including from outside Austria.

I work as an elective therapist (Wahltherapeut): you receive an invoice that you can submit to any Austrian health insurance fund, which will reimburse part of the cost. If you are insured in another country, we can look together at whether your insurer will cover or contribute to the cost.

Everything we discuss is of course covered by the statutory duty of psychotherapeutic confidentiality.

What is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a scientifically grounded treatment for psychological, psychosocial, and psychosomatic complaints. It aims to reduce distress, provide support through crises, and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

My approach: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is well supported by evidence and is recommended in clinical guidelines as a first-line treatment for anxiety disorders and depression, among others. It starts from the idea that thoughts, feelings, physical reactions, and behavior influence one another and can, together, keep problems going.

How do we work?

We clarify what brings you here, look at what keeps your difficulties in place, and derive concrete goals and strategies from that. I explain how I work transparently, and we decide together. You know your own experience best; I bring the psychotherapeutic expertise.
