About Thomas
Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. He focuses on anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, and stress. He also helps people dealing with relationship struggles, grief, addiction, and life changes.
Tom keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first and then helps people spot unhelpful thinking and patterns. He uses clear tools from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches to teach skills people can use between sessions.
Over 14 years he has guided people through mood challenges, panic, and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotional regulation is a focus. Attachment-based ideas are woven in to address relationship and intimacy-related issues. Tom also brings motivational interviewing and person-centered listening into sessions.
He describes listening as one of his strengths and uses what clients share to uncover deeper concerns. That often leads to specific steps for change and clearer goals. Sessions can include brief check-ins and more structured skill work.
Tom aims to respond to messages within 24 hours and typically checks messages throughout the day. He works in English and practices in Alabama as an LPC.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them and then commit to actions that matter. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and finding direction when life feels stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and building concrete skills to change them, which helps with panic, mood struggles, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy, helping people shift patterns that create conflict or distance.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they try methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan as progress or new needs emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face skill coaching and role-play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to keep momentum between meetings.
