About Thomas
Thomas "Tommy" Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 24 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and major life changes. Tommy focuses on practical coping skills for everyday struggles and supports people dealing with parenting, career strain, sleep problems, and self-esteem concerns.
He uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. That includes cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, and acceptance-focused tools to reduce struggle with difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas shape how he looks at relationship patterns and intimacy issues.
Sessions aim to identify clear goals and small, usable steps toward them. Conversations often center on what is happening day to day, what gets in the way, and what can change this week. He draws on a client-centered stance to keep the work practical and collaborative.
Tommy has worked across many presenting concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and substance use. He also addresses specialty areas such as codependency, communication problems, seasonal mood shifts, and compassion fatigue. His background in social work informs attention to life context like work, family obligations, and community stressors.
People who contact him can expect direct talk about coping strategies, realistic goal-setting, and follow-through plans. The focus is on skills that fit everyday life and reduce distress over time. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for chronic anxiety, depression, and life transitions where getting stuck is part of the problem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood disorders, OCD symptoms, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, attachment-focused ideas, or a mix of methods makes the most sense.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to an online rhythm so the work stays practical and geared toward everyday life.
