About Thomas

Dr. Thomas Tashjian brings 33 years of clinical experience to his work supporting people with stress, anxiety, anger, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

He blends cognitive-behavioral insights with practical skill-building to help clients break unhelpful cycles of over-thinking and self-talk that often maintain emotional and behavioral difficulties. His background also includes pharmacology, so he pays attention to how physical health and medications can influence mood and behavior and helps clients distinguish biological effects from psychological patterns.

In sessions he integrates evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and somatic work to teach concrete strategies for managing emotions, cravings, pain, and interpersonal problems.

An outdoorsman and marathoner who has used experiential activities in therapy, he encourages clients to identify meaningful behavioral options and to adapt when health or life changes limit previous coping resources. Based in Massachusetts, he practices in English and offers a practical, problem-solving orientation that emphasizes collaboration and incremental change.

Integrating skills-based approaches with online care

Dr. Tashjian uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete strategies for mood, anxiety, attention, and coping challenges. Dialectical behavior therapy adds emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are especially useful when emotions feel overwhelming. He also uses mindfulness therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce ruminative thinking that often maintains anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Tashjian works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. He emphasizes practical skill-building and ongoing adjustment so the plan fits the client’s life and challenges rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with him is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions, maintain continuity when life is busy or mobility is limited, and access support from Massachusetts without requiring in-person visits.
