Thomas Flanagan, LSCSW, LCSW

Thomas Flanagan is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kansas with 40 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and many other struggles. Thomas uses straightforward, practical methods to help people make change when they are ready to do the work.

He focuses on strengths. Sessions look at the abilities someone already has and how to put those strengths to use. He listens to each person’s story and then helps them set realistic goals and small steps toward change. Clients who want direct feedback and an active plan tend to do well with his style.

Thomas draws on a range of approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. That mix lets him address mood, anxiety, addictive behavior, and relationship patterns without getting stuck on one method. He emphasizes clear skills people can practice between sessions.

People often come to him when they are burned out, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or coping with loss and life transitions. He helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try concrete alternatives. Sessions are practical and goal-directed, with attention to both feelings and daily actions.

His long experience includes work across many settings with a wide range of concerns. He accepts international clients and works in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options to make sure they fit your situation.
