About Thomas
Thomas Floyd is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland with 46 years of professional experience. He holds LCSW-C and LICSW credentials and works with adults facing common life stresses. He helps people with anxiety, depression, grief, coping with life changes, addictions, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.
He focuses on practical conversation. Sessions are driven by what the person brings. He uses straightforward methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and build small habits that change daily life.
Thomas uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's perspective and Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and plan steps toward them.
People turn to him for help with relationship strain, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping trouble, career stress, and compassion fatigue. He also works with issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, chronic illness, and recovery from domestic violence or substance problems.
His approach is calm and practical. He encourages clear goals and regular check-ins on progress. The emphasis is on useful changes people can use at home and at work, not on jargon or theory-heavy sessions.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's concerns and perspective. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows what the person wants to work on, which can help with relationship strain, grief, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will talk with the person about goals and preferences and pick methods together. That collaborative process helps decide whether a CBT technique, motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change, or a narrative conversation about personal stories will fit best.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or let someone choose a session that does not require video. Ask about current session options when you schedule to match format to your routine.
