About Thomas

Thomas McMinn is an LPC with 28 years of experience who focuses on a broad range of concerns including relationship difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, family problems, eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He draws on a lifetime of personal and professional experience to understand common life struggles and to align treatment with goals set by the person seeking help. Mr.

McMinn emphasizes forming a strong therapeutic alliance and offers encouragement and practical information as part of the work. His professional path began after discovering a family therapy course in college, which redirected his early interest in recreation management toward counseling.

He pursued graduate training that included seminary-based instruction and later completed licensure requirements to practice as a professional counselor. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is his primary modality, with an emphasis on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and on making cognitive shifts that support lasting behavioral change.

He combines client-centered values with CBT techniques to tailor care to each person’s preferences and needs.

Online Therapy Approaches and Practical Options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the person’s own goals guide the process; this approach helps when someone wants to explore feelings, values, and personal priorities while feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and uses structured techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself, and the therapist will work collaboratively to determine which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process often blends client-centered listening with CBT tools so the plan can be adjusted as work progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and accessibility across locations. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into everyday life and to continue consistent care even when in-person meetings are impractical.
