About Tommy

Tommy Pool is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of experience. He emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what they are feeling and thinking. Tommy aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and direct.

He encourages straightforward conversation about current struggles and what the person hopes to change. Tommy uses an approach that centers on the person's experience and choices.

Background and approach

He blends client-centered care with practical techniques to help manage anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. He also draws on Existential ideas to help people think through life decisions, meaning, and values. In sessions he looks at patterns that keep problems going.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Emotion-focused strategies help people name and work with strong emotions when relationships or grief are involved. Tommy has long experience addressing addictions, both substance and behavior-related.

He also helps with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. Practical coping skills are paired with deeper conversations about purpose and connection. Sessions can be conversational and goal-oriented.

Clients can expect clear, direct talk about steps to try between meetings. The focus is on what is useful now, while also making space for bigger life questions and values.

Approaches Tommy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Tommy blends client-centered work, Existential perspectives, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet immediate problems and deeper life questions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building trust so people can say what matters most. Existential ideas help people examine meaning, choice, and values when facing life transitions or emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete steps to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tommy will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and focus on short-term coping while also looking at longer-term concerns like relationships or purpose.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video works well for deeper conversations when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people shape therapy around busy days and varied needs.
