He also works with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, recurring depression, and problems with anger or impulsive behavior.
Career and identity questions, codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems are part of his caseload as well. Tom emphasizes building on existing strengths. He listens to each person’s story, then suggests small experiments and new habits to shift patterns.

Online support
How emotion work and practical therapy fit online
Tom often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name core emotions that drive relationship and intimacy concerns. EFT focuses on understanding emotional responses and creating new ways of connecting with oneself and others, which can be useful for grief, attachment wounds, and communication problems.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage small, meaningful actions aligned with what matters most. ACT helps with anxiety, avoidance, and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to act despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool he uses to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors that reduce distress.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and longer therapy work. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief coaching and reminders. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into daily life.
