About Tommy
Tommy Pool is an LPC with 30 years of experience offering straightforward, person-focused care. He creates an open space where people can speak honestly about stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or family struggles. He welcomes adults and teens aged 13 and up who want practical support for life changes and emotional pain.
Tommy centers sessions on the person's experience rather than on labels. He listens first, then helps people sort feelings and priorities. That might mean learning new coping skills for anxiety, tackling patterns that fuel addiction, or rebuilding connection after loss.
His approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and emotionally focused work. That mix lets him follow what matters most to the client while offering tools to change unhelpful thinking and improve emotional bonds. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented.
Clients often bring issues like parenting stress, compassion fatigue, body-image struggles, caregiver burden, or the fallout of divorce and separation. He also addresses trauma, abuse, anger, and intimacy-related concerns in clear, step-by-step ways.
Tommy practices in Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. He works with English-speaking clients and does not take international clients at this time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

Using therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps them name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and work with core emotions in relationships and can be useful for people who want to improve connection or manage intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, skill-building from CBT, or emotionally focused interventions based on the issue at hand.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that suit different energy levels and schedules. Licensed professionals adapt tools like mindfulness practices, cognitive exercises, and emotionally focused conversations to the online setting to keep sessions practical and focused on day-to-day improvements.
