About Thomas

Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who brings 14 years of clinical experience to his practice. He focuses on a broad range of concerns including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, stress, grief, addictions, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Tom integrates practical strategies to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop more effective coping skills. Tom blends several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thought-action patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support values-driven change, and Attachment-Based perspectives when relational history affects current functioning. Motivational Interviewing and active listening are also part of his toolkit, helping clients find motivation and clarity around goals.

Tom aims to respond to messages within 24 hours and checks communications throughout the day to maintain timely contact with clients.

How Tom's Methods Translate to Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most to them; this approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which is often applied to anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and can be useful when relationship problems, intimacy issues, or codependency are central concerns.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative effort. The therapist works with each person to evaluate which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats support consistent engagement for people managing busy schedules, mobility limits, or regional barriers, and make it easier to continue therapy when life circumstances change.
