About Tommy
Tommy Pool brings a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy that emphasizes collaboration and skill building.
Background and approach
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years of clinical experience in Texas, he integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and emotionally focused techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, depression, grief, and trauma.
He aims to create an atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop clearer coping strategies without fear of judgment. Tommy uses a mixture of structured interventions and empathic listening to address relationship and family conflicts, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
His work also includes attention to specific concerns such as codependency, communication difficulties, caregiver stress, body image, and substance-related problems. Prospective clients are encouraged that taking the first step toward therapy is meaningful, and he supports each person in moving from that initial decision toward practical change and emotional relief.
Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Tommy often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and validation to help people feel heard and supported as they explore their concerns.Finding the right approach is presented as a collaborative process. Tommy works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains tailored to the client's needs and priorities.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapeutic work into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from wherever the client is located within the same region. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these formats to focus on skills practice, emotional exploration, and problem solving.
