About Tommy

Tommy Fletcher is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of counseling experience. He practices in New Mexico and has worked in social work roles since 1987, including roles connected to the legal system. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

Tommy uses straightforward, person-focused sessions that treat the client as the expert in their own life. He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice he listens, clarifies the patterns that cause distress, and works with clients to try different ways of responding to problems.

He has experience supporting adults and teens in individual work, groups, and couples settings across a range of challenges. A long background in social work and legal settings informs his practical orientation to problem solving and safety planning when needed. He also notes work with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, aging and geriatric concerns, and family-of-origin themes.

Sessions are offered in English and are arranged to fit day and evening schedules Monday through Thursday. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.

Tommy aims to help people identify useful next steps and build everyday skills for managing symptoms and relationship strain. He focuses on clear, manageable tools rather than jargon, and on practical changes that support daily life.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people who feel stuck by clarifying what matters and practicing small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Tommy treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, try specific techniques, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. The match between method and the person’s daily life is discussed openly rather than assumed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before scheduling. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work or family rhythms, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work in remote sessions, including guided behavioral experiments, values work, and thought records, so therapy can focus on skills that transfer to everyday household life.
