About Tommy
Tommy Fletcher is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with ten years of clinical experience working with adults. He helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, career questions, and coping with life changes.
He draws on straightforward, problem-focused work in sessions. He listens for what a person wants to change and uses practical techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also pays attention to how past family relationships and adoption or foster care experiences affect current choices.
Tommy uses several evidence-informed approaches depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions can address relationship and intimacy concerns, communication problems, codependency, and commitment issues. He also works with people facing compassion fatigue, aging and geriatric issues, domestic violence histories, and complications from co-morbid conditions. Work on body image, eating issues, and addictive behaviors is practical and skills-based.
Tommy has background in social work roles going back to 1987, including time in the legal system. He frames clients as experts in their own lives and focuses on building skills and choices that fit daily demands. To begin, users follow the platform process to match and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small, concrete steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on practical skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with relationship conflict and strong mood swings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and daily routine. Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins during a busy week. Some formats require less bandwidth or no camera, which can help when a quieter space is limited or a shorter session is needed. Discuss practical scheduling preferences when arranging the first appointment.
