About Tommy
Tommy Pool is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of experience. He uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people facing anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Tommy speaks in plain terms and aims to make beginning therapy easier for someone who is nervous about the first step.
He commonly helps people manage overwhelming worry, life transitions, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with trauma, intimacy-related issues, caregiver strain, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
Background and approach
Phobias are among the concerns he works with as part of anxiety-related care. Tommy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space where clients can talk openly. He pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop small, practical changes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on connection and attachment when relationships are a core issue. He blends mindfulness practices and existential reflections when people want help tolerating uncertainty or finding meaning after major losses. Sessions are conversational and focused on clear goals.
Tommy encourages small experiments between meetings so progress is practical and trackable. Based in Texas, Tommy offers care by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging. He works in English and is not taking international clients.
To begin, a short questionnaire matches a person with a therapist and then a session is scheduled according to availability.
How Tommy’s approaches work online
Tommy combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the client set the pace. This approach helps people feel heard and understood before tackling practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, phobias, and addiction-related behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tommy treats choosing methods as a collaboration and adjusts techniques to match goals, comfort level, and what a person needs in daily life. He will discuss options, try strategies together, and refine the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to practice new skills between meetings.
