About Thomas

Thomas "Tommy" Snyder is a licensed social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD and mood disorders. He works with people facing big life changes and those coping with trauma, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career setbacks, or compassion fatigue. Tommy brings a calm, steady approach so people feel heard and supported.

He uses straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical tools for coping, clearer communication, and ways to rebuild routine and trust after difficult events. Tommy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person’s goals central and uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness when useful.

With 24 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Louisiana, he combines long-term practice with down-to-earth guidance. He aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to everyday life rather than overwhelming or technical.

People describe working on specific skills in session, like managing impulsivity or handling conflict more calmly. He also helps with deeper patterns such as attachment concerns, codependency, or avoidant personality tendencies by looking at relationships and emotional habits over time.

Tommy accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English. Before starting, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's priorities. It helps people feel understood and guides the work by their goals rather than a preset plan. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, which can be useful for anxiety, mood issues, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with codependency, intimacy concerns, and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals, needs, and day-to-day life. That might mean trying an ACT exercise for a few weeks and then shifting to skills from cognitive behavioral therapy if needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which is why he accepts international clients who speak English. Ask about the specific session formats offered so you can choose what fits your routine.
