About Tommy

Tommy Fletcher is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 10 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and codependency among other areas.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and draws on their strengths to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way day to day and on small, doable changes.

Tommy uses a mix of proven therapy models to match the problem at hand. He may use cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change thinking patterns. He may draw on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients notice hard feelings and choose valued actions. Emotion-focused work and dialectical skills are used when relationships or strong emotions are central.

His background includes years of social work and roles connected with the legal system going back to 1987. That history informs how he organizes goals and handles practical life stressors alongside emotional work. Sessions are offered in English and rooted in real-world problem solving.

To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and break difficult habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean mixing techniques across sessions and checking in regularly about what feels useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family demands, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to schedule, and remove travel time. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they use homework, worksheets, or short skills practice that can be reviewed between meetings. Licensed professionals can help shape a plan that fits daily life and the practical limits people face.
