How his approaches translate to online work
Tom commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he draws on to help people clarify values and take committed steps toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people understand how early connections affect current relationships and intimacy.Picking the right method is collaborative. Tom will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together you decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix would fit best for your situation.
