About Tommy
Tommy Pool is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 30 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship challenges. He offers a calm, direct presence that helps people talk through difficult feelings and decide what to change next. Tommy practices in Texas and communicates in English.
Tommy focuses on practical conversations that get to daily patterns. He helps people address chemical and process addictions, manage grief and trauma, and repair or improve close relationships. He also supports those coping with life changes, caring roles, body image concerns, and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions aim to be a place where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Tommy draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters to each person. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.
Emotionally-focused work helps people notice and name core feelings that affect close connections. Mindfulness techniques are used in simple, practical ways to build steadier attention and calm in stressful moments.
The first step is choosing to begin, and Tommy acknowledges that takes courage. To start therapy, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on availability. Fees vary by location and the program uses a cancel-anytime subscription model.
How Tommy's approaches translate to online work
Tommy uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the center of each session. That means he follows what matters most to the person, listens closely, and helps clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what helps. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on identifying core feelings that shape relationships and on changing interaction patterns that cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tommy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. He explains options, tries techniques, and adjusts plans based on what the person finds helpful.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They also allow people to continue work while handling caregiving, work breaks, or other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same therapeutic tools as in-person work, adapted to the online setting.
