Background and approach
In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. He also works with deeper emotions that feel stuck from past events. That can include grief, trauma, relationship pain, and issues around gender and sexual identity.
Tommi-Jai uses practical tools alongside reflective conversation. He draws on client-centered methods and cognitive and behavioral techniques to address anxiety and mood concerns. He also uses emotion-focused and dialectical ideas when relationships or strong feelings are central.
People come to him for help managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. He also supports those navigating intimacy, kink and alternative sexual cultures, parenting challenges, and questions about life purpose. He welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better ways to handle intense feelings and conflicts. These approaches work together to address both immediate symptoms and deeper emotional patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to real-life concerns like anxiety, relationships, or coping with change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging fit quick check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules or different time zones while keeping the focus on practical tools and emotional understanding.
