Online support
Emotion and Skill-Focused Therapy Online
Tommy uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work through strong emotions that shape their behavior. EFT focuses on understanding emotional responses, expressing feelings clearly, and changing unhelpful emotional patterns that keep problems locked in place.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on respectful listening and building trust so people feel heard and understood while they figure things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool he uses to notice thoughts and behaviors, test them, and try practical changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tommy will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That way sessions match what the person needs - whether emotional processing, skills practice, or both.
Online therapy with him can be done by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
