About Thomas

Thomas Floyd brings 46 years of clinical experience to his Maryland practice, working with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

He is credentialed as an MD and holds social work licenses LCSW-C and LICSW, and he combines that medical and social work background to address issues such as addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. His approach emphasizes creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly.

Thomas draws on client-centered principles alongside evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative work to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. He also supports people dealing with family-related issues, trauma and abuse, body image, chronic health concerns, and caregiving stress.

Thomas frames therapy as a collaborative effort aimed at finding practical strategies and new perspectives. He encourages clients to take the first step toward change and offers steady professional support through the process, helping them build coping skills, clarity, and resilience.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy centers on empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients set their own goals and feel heard; this approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship challenges, grief, and life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing new skills to change mood and behavior, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and stress-management techniques that aid emotional regulation, sleep issues, and coping with chronic health or caregiving stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process: goals, past experiences, and practical concerns guide which combination of techniques is tried and adjusted over time.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to engage in consistent care amid busy schedules or mobility limits. These formats provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health constraints, and they allow therapists and clients to continue momentum between sessions through brief check-ins when appropriate.
