About Todd

Todd Gomez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 20 years of experience, based in South Carolina. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, and LGBT concerns.

Todd uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through emotional strain. He listens for what matters most and looks for small, practical steps that reduce pressure at home and work. Sessions are grounded in clear goals rather than jargon. Todd favors approaches that help people notice patterns and try different responses in daily life.

He often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and build values-based action. Client-Centered Therapy informs his way of checking in and following each person's pace. Mindfulness practices are used to steady attention and interrupt reactive cycles.

Across two decades he has worked with adults facing transitions such as divorce, adoption and blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and loss. He also addresses concerns like abandonment, body image, communication problems, and commitment worries. Todd supports people dealing with work stress and career decisions as part of broader life adjustments.

Sessions are intended to be practical and conversational. He helps people break larger problems into manageable steps and track what changes. If you want to explore next steps, confirm the current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Todd uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters and take small actions that align with their values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to practice different responses. CBT offers clear exercises and behavior changes that can be tried between sessions to reduce stress and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Todd will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He adapts methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single technique.

Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel time. Therapists often adjust exercises for video or phone meetings so people can practice skills in their everyday routines.
