Tommy Pool, LPC

Tommy Pool is an LPC with 30 years of experience who approaches therapy in a direct, human way. He creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them. He keeps language simple and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

Tommy uses client-centered methods to help people feel heard and understood. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of his toolbox for addressing relationship and intimacy concerns.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. He also supports people facing addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. His background includes many years working with family conflict, parenting strain, and caregiver stress.

Tommy works from Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and conducts sessions in English. He encourages people to take small steps toward change and focuses on what is realistic for each person.

Getting started begins with selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to the therapist's availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist scheduling.

How Tommy's Methods Translate to Online Work

Tommy combines client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can make choices that fit their values. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple experiments to test new ways of thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions in relationships and practice new ways of responding to one another.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tommy will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable now. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs emerge.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since current options are listed during the scheduling process. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins between in-person appointments, and make it simpler to attend from different locations. Many people find that the same practical CBT exercises and emotionally-focused conversations work well in remote sessions when tailored to each person's needs.
