How Thom’s Approaches Work Online
Thom commonly combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-centered work means conversations start with what matters most to the person and build from their strengths. CBT focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Thom will talk with the client about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try tools, assess what fits, and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work matches needs and preferences.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls support visual connection for relationship work or skills coaching. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging help with brief reflection, between-session support, and working through exercises when time is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
