Tommy has supported people through a wide range of concerns over three decades, including caregiver stress, codependency, body image struggles, and issues tied to divorce or separation. He can help people manage intense reactions like panic or persistent low mood while addressing patterns that affect relationships.
People who choose Tommy begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on his availability. His practice serves clients aged 13 and over who want a straightforward, steady approach to feeling better and regaining control.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens, reflects what matters to the client, and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combines talking with practical exercises that change thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and shifting emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tommy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and support, then adding CBT skills or emotionally focused work as needs become clearer.
