About Tommy
Dr. Tommy Frye is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, and trauma and abuse. He also supports people dealing with career problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and major life changes.
He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on naming strong emotions and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. He listens for what matters most to each person and then helps them try practical steps to change how they respond.
Tom has worked with children, adolescents, youth, adults, and couples in a range of settings. He often draws on CBT and rational emotive behavioral techniques when clear, short-term skills are needed. He also brings attachment-focused ideas through EFT when relationship patterns and closeness are central to the concern.
In sessions he helps people make a simple plan and practices new ways of interacting or coping. That can include skill-building for managing anxiety, communication exercises for relationships, or focused conversations about grief and loss. He aims to help people reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning through measurable steps.
Tom provides direct answers and practical suggestions. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk through goals. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
How EFT, CBT, and client-centered work translate online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and attachment patterns. It can help when relationship cycles or closeness feel stuck by guiding conversations toward core feelings and needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short-term exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills practice.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and experiences, helping them steer sessions and explore what matters most. It supports self-directed work and complements targeted techniques from CBT or EFT.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and immediate concerns, and then help pick which methods to try together. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
