About Thomas

Thomas "Tommy" Snyder is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of practice based in Louisiana who helps people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

He works with concerns such as stress and anxiety, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and family stressors, ADHD, compulsions and OCD, sleep problems, self-esteem, career difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment difficulties, codependency, communication troubles, seasonal affective disorder, and impulsivity.

His clinical style blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, pragmatic stance that aims to strengthen coping and build practical skills. Thomas draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, DBT skills, and client-centered principles to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients clarify values, reduce unhelpful patterns, and develop concrete tools for change. Thomas offers services in English and accepts international clients, providing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

He holds Louisiana LCSW license number LA LCSW 5459 and encourages prospective clients to consider a match that fits their goals and preferences.

Applying evidence-based approaches to online care

Thomas commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessive patterns, and sleep problems. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values, building psychological flexibility, and learning acceptance strategies that help with grief, chronic stress, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Thomas treats approach selection as collaborative work. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past, and then adapt techniques from CBT, ACT, attachment-informed work, or DBT skills to fit the client’s needs rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, accommodate varied routines, and allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations while working on practical coping skills and values-driven goals.
