Approach-Focused Care and Online Therapy Options
Tommy Pool integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for the clientâs perspective, helping individuals feel heard and supported while they explore goals and values. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, making it useful for problem-solving and behavior change.
He also draws on emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central. EFT helps partners and family members understand emotional responses and create new ways of connecting, which can improve communication and reduce recurring conflicts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tommy works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts techniques over time to ensure the therapy fits the person and the situation. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine elements of different models to provide the best match for each client.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain regular contact during transitions, and receive consistent support from a therapist without needing to travel.
