01About Thomas

He speaks plainly and focuses on what clients want to change.
Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps. He aims to build a strong working relationship so people feel heard and understood.
Background and approach
Thomas grew up in Ohio and moved to South Carolina as a teen. He discovered family therapy in college and shifted his plans toward counseling. That path led him through graduate work and the steps to become an LPC - a licensed professional counselor.
His main clinical tools are client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT. He uses CBT to help people notice thought patterns, test assumptions, and change behaviors that no longer work. Client-centered methods keep the focus on each person’s needs and values.
People can expect practical explanations, encouragement, and step-by-step suggestions in sessions. Thomas combines life experience with clinical practice to help people make steady progress. He works with clients to set achievable goals and to build skills they can use outside sessions.

04Online support
Online approaches that focus on thoughts and your needs
Thomas uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as clear ways to approach concerns in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace. It helps people name their priorities and shape goals that feel relevant to their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In practice this means noticing unhelpful thinking, testing it in real life, and trying different actions to change outcomes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process helps pick practical strategies that fit each person’s situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work that benefits from face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a brief check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for short updates, quick coping strategies, or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or travel and keep continuity of care across locations.
