How his approaches translate to online therapy
Thomas commonly uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore their reasons for change and build motivation. This approach focuses on asking open questions, reflecting what matters, and agreeing on small next steps that feel doable. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people better understand trust and closeness in relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Thomas will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they plan a path that fits the person’s readiness and everyday life rather than pushing a single method on everyone.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins after stressful events. It can also let people try shorter or more frequent meetings when that helps keep momentum. Licensed professionals often adapt ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and attachment-focused work to work well in remote sessions, tailoring exercises and homework to each person’s situation. -
