About Tommy
Tommy Pool is an LPC with 30 years of experience helping people manage depression, stress, anxiety, and addiction. He keeps the first session straightforward and focused on what brought someone in. Tommy aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and figure out the next steps.
He works with clients ages 13 and above, addressing relationship and family concerns alongside mood and grief issues. Sessions emphasize an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings are named and heard. That includes support for parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and problems with anger or self-esteem.
Tommy draws on client-centered work to follow each person's priorities. He combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavioral changes. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about attachment and closeness when relationship issues are central.
Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce reactivity and build grounding skills. Existential perspectives are used when people wrestle with meaning, loss, or big life changes. Motivational interviewing supports readiness to address addictions and codependency.
