About Todd
Todd Gomez is a licensed social worker who focuses on practical help for people facing stress and big life changes. He uses clear, direct conversations to make sense of problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. Todd aims to create an affirming space where people feel heard and can work toward realistic goals.
He has two decades of experience and practices in South Carolina. Todd draws from several well-established therapy methods to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and build a life aligned with their values. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s priorities and pace during sessions.
He has worked with a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, career stress, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with chronic illness. Todd also addresses family-related stresses and communication problems. He pays attention to the practical steps people can take between sessions.
Sessions often involve talk, practical exercises, and simple skills people can use at home. Todd explains options plainly and helps set achievable short-term goals. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for each person’s life.
People choose him for steady, experienced guidance and a direct, respectful approach. Todd combines twenty years of practice with a down-to-earth style to support realistic change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It emphasizes clear personal values and small committed steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood shifts. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s needs and pace, giving time for reflection and building trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Todd collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT and CBT or beginning with a client-centered conversation to set priorities. The plan can change as needs and progress become clearer.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer flexibility, and live chat or text messaging provide shorter, real-time check-ins or follow-up between meetings. These options help people stay consistent with therapy when schedules or distance would otherwise get in the way.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
