About Thomas
Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, and addiction. He also addresses codependency and attachment concerns for adults who find themselves putting others first.
Tom uses direct conversation and practical tools in sessions. He listens closely and helps clients notice unhelpful thinking. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to name patterns and try small changes.
He integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients clarify values and act on them even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based ideas guide work on trust, closeness, and boundary questions in relationships. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when people need ways to manage intense emotions and stress.
Tom describes some of his work from a Christian perspective and includes clients' beliefs when they matter to the issues at hand. He aims for prompt communication and usually checks messages during the day with a goal of returning them within 24 hours.
People who come to Tom often want clear next steps - whether that is changing a pattern of people-pleasing, setting firmer limits, managing mood swings, or addressing substance use. He focuses on straightforward conversation and practical skills rather than long theoretical explanations.
How sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and taking steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It can help when someone keeps putting others first and wants to live by their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try practical methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can shift over time as needs change.
The original profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. It also makes it possible to practice skills and talk through real-life situations that come up between appointments.
