About Thomas
He uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. Thomas often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and test them with everyday actions. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice what matters most and commit to small changes that fit their values.
Over nine years of clinical experience inform his work, and he brings a steady, straightforward style to sessions. He pays attention to the life circumstances that shape behavior, such as caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, or the effects of trauma and grief. He also supports people coping with ADHD, addictions, and the strain of major life changes.

Step 3
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. It can be useful for stress, depression, and situations where someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and reactions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and understanding; the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on building trust and clarity about goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas treats the choice of method as a collaboration, using early sessions to see what helps and adjusting plans to match goals and life demands. He encourages small experiments between sessions so clients can see what fits their routines.
