About Todd

Todd Gomez offers experienced, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes. With 20 years of clinical practice, he aims to help clients clarify values, build coping skills, and navigate transitions while honoring each person's identity and goals.

Background and approach

His approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment principles and client-centered practices, creating a practical yet compassionate way to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. Todd has worked across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia and brings a wide-ranging focus that includes LGBT concerns, career and self-esteem issues, bipolar mood challenges, and family or relationship difficulties.

Beyond core specialties, his practice covers additional areas such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, communication problems, co-morbidity, and coping after loss or separation. He holds LCSW and LISW credentials and offers care designed to meet each person's pace and priorities, concentrating on collaboration and real-world strategies for change.

Online Therapy Approaches and Practical Benefits

Todd uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values, accepting difficult emotions, and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Both approaches emphasize practical skills and present-focused work that translate well to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts strategies over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with Todd is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support from South Carolina or from international locations when licensing permits, and they allow clients to continue work on skills and coping strategies between sessions.
