About Tommy

Tommy Fletcher is a licensed clinical social worker based in New Mexico. He brings ten years of professional counseling experience and a long history in social work roles. He aims to create a straightforward, respectful setting where adults can talk through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns.

Tommy uses clear language and practical steps so people can make changes that matter to their day-to-day life. Tommy draws on several therapy methods to match what each person needs.

Background and approach

He often mixes acceptance and commitment work with cognitive behavioral tools to address difficult thoughts and behaviors. He also uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are part of the problem. His background includes years of work inside the legal system and many social work positions since 1987, which shaped a practical, reality-focused style.

He emphasizes clients as experts in their own stories and builds on individual strengths. Sessions aim to help people break unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Tommy offers multiple session formats and flexible scheduling during daytime and evening hours Monday through Thursday.

He communicates plainly about goals and next steps so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into a crowded life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. Payments use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapy approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making changes when old habits get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and meeting a person where they are, which supports trust and clearer goals in the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust methods if something is not working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use different formats for skills practice, check-ins, or deeper sessions depending on what a person prefers and what helps them progress.

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.
