About Thomas
Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with 14 years of experience. He focuses on anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and life changes. Tom also lists life purpose among his areas of focus and addresses issues like grief, addictions, and career uncertainty.
Tom uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort what matters right now. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, and he names those patterns so clients can see them. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and motivational interviewing to help people test new choices and notice what changes.
Relationships and intimacy are a frequent focus. Tom has worked with couples on communication, parenting stresses, and closeness. He combines talk therapy with attention to attachment experiences so people can understand how past patterns affect present relationships.
Tom says his approach is influenced by Christian beliefs and he brings that perspective when clients want it. He also uses elements of acceptance and commitment work, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practices to support day-to-day coping. Sessions tend to be practical and problem-focused while still allowing room to explore deeper material.
Tom aims to respond to messages quickly, usually checking and returning them before leaving the office. To begin, the site asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and practicing small actions that align with those values. It can help when a lack of direction or avoidance holds someone back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test and shift unhelpful thinking. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current relationships and can be useful for intimacy, communication, and commitment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is revisited over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find virtual work lets them try tools in real life between sessions and brings therapy into day-to-day routines.
