About Tommy
Tommy Fletcher is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Mexico. He has ten years of recent clinical experience and a long history in social work that informs his approach. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, and issues with self-esteem and motivation.
Tommy keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works collaboratively to set goals.
Background and approach
He uses clear language and practical steps so people can try strategies between visits. His background includes many years working in social work roles and time in the legal system. That experience shaped his ability to listen clearly and to help people sort through complicated problems.
He draws on a range of methods to match what a person needs in the moment. Tommy often blends techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening. He also uses emotion-focused and skills-based approaches when they fit the problem.
Sessions can address anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, career stress, and coping with life changes. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time based on therapist availability.
Approach and online session options
Tommy commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. ACT focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose values-based actions, and accept difficult feelings so they can move forward. CBT looks for unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and making a safe space for people to speak openly while the therapist follows their lead.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Tommy will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. The plan can change over time based on what helps and what feels useful to the client.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other routines.
