Todd Gomez, LCSW, LISW

Todd Gomez is a licensed social worker based in South Carolina who helps people facing major life changes and emotional strain. He focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, and coping with illness or grief. People often come for help with identity questions, work stress, self-esteem, and navigating loss. With 20 years of practice as an LCSW and LISW, Todd uses straightforward, collaborative methods. He listens for each person’s strengths and goals, then offers practical steps to try between sessions. Expect a down-to-earth style that values clear communication and steady problem solving. Todd’s work includes attention to issues common in the LGBT community, blended families, adoption and foster care history, and caregiving stress. He also addresses chronic pain, cancer-related concerns, aging, and co-occurring conditions such as bipolar disorder. He frames challenges as problems to be understood and managed, not labels to define a person. Therapeutic methods he draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, emotionally focused approaches, client-centered care, and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people name what matters, change unhelpful habits, and rebuild closer connections with others. Clients start by describing what they most want to change. From there Todd helps set practical goals and tracks progress over time. He welcomes conversations about identity, grief, and life transitions and supports people as they develop tools for resilience and clearer decision making.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Todd commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them while accepting difficult feelings that arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

He also integrates client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to slow down intense moments and build self-awareness. Client-centered methods emphasize listening and reflecting what matters to the person, while mindfulness exercises help with stress, focus, and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Todd will talk through goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose methods that fit each person’s needs. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches over time.

The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and reduce travel time.
