About Dr. Thomas Tashjian
Dr. Thomas Tashjian is a cognitive-behavioral psychologist who helps children, adults, and older adults build practical skills to manage emotional, behavioral, and health-related challenges. He works with attention and learning concerns, chronic pain and illness, insecurity, relationship difficulties, and the everyday problems that arise from over-thinking and persistent self-talk. Because of his background in language and development, he often frames difficulties as stemming from reflective patterns that can interfere with the results of counseling or medication.
With additional training and experience in pharmacology, he is familiar with how physical states and medications can influence mood, behavior, and emotions. That perspective helps him and his clients separate physiological effects from psychological concerns and identify steps to reduce unwanted impacts. He has supported experiential therapy programs that incorporate outdoor activity, exercise, and animal-assisted elements as part of treatment for the issues above.
Outside of clinical work, he is an outdoorsman and marathoner who loves dogs, cats, and horses, and he writes short parables inspired by those interests. He also assists clients in finding alternatives when injury or life changes remove familiar coping strategies. He holds MA Psychologist 3022, a master's-level psychologist credential indicating licensure as a practicing psychologist.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Tashjian frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors. CBT is structured and skills-focused, and is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with attention and coping.
He also incorporates somatic therapy approaches that pay attention to bodily sensations, movement, and physical responses. These methods can be useful for addressing conditions where physical state and emotional experience interact, such as chronic pain, stress reactions, and trauma-related symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy is another tool he uses to help people become more aware of moment-to-moment thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness practices can reduce rumination and support better emotional regulation in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Tashjian works with clients to evaluate their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques from these approaches to fit each person. Licensed professionals and therapists, including Dr. Tashjian, aim to match methods to the individual's situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care when in-person visits are difficult. These options support consistent progress and allow clients to engage with therapy in ways that suit their lifestyle.
