He practices in Kentucky and focuses on helping people sort through relationship and family concerns.

People often come to him for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. He also supports clients facing parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions like divorce or midlife change. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, codependency, infidelity, and men's issues.
In sessions he blends discussion with concrete steps to try between meetings. Thomas aims to help clients see patterns and then test different ways of responding. He keeps things friendly and nonjudgmental while staying focused on clear goals.
Thomas uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, narrative techniques, solution-focused ideas, and relationship-focused tools such as the Gottman Method. He works in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online practice
Thomas uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that can reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. CBT is practical and often includes exercises you can use between sessions.He also draws on the Gottman Method to look at relationship patterns, communication, and connection between partners. That approach focuses on specific skills to reduce conflict and build stronger interaction habits.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Thomas will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is working and what is not.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let you use visual cues for relationship work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility for busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with a full schedule.
