About Thomas
Thomas "Tommy" Snyder is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience based in Louisiana. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, ADHD, mood concerns, grief, addiction, or major life changes. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable.
Tommy keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. He uses skills practice, mindful awareness, and clear communication strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
Background and approach
His work draws from several evidence-informed approaches. He uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns. He incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live in line with their values despite difficult feelings.
Attachment-based ideas guide his work on closeness, boundaries, and communication. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. The overall tone is calm, practical, and respectful of each person’s pace.
Tommy also supports concerns around parenting, intimacy, career stress, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients learn tools they can use between sessions. His goal is to help people regain a sense of control and move forward with clearer choices.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Thomas blends cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in ways that work well online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which can be practiced in video or phone sessions and reinforced through messages. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice emotions, clarify values, and take committed action even when feelings are difficult; those exercises translate to guided reflection and homework between sessions.He treats the choice of approach as a team decision. During early sessions he will listen to your goals and try options to see what fits. Together you will adapt techniques based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and personalized.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work on communication and emotion skills. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share quick updates, practice skills in the moment, or get brief support between longer sessions.
