About Thomas

Thomas "Tommy" Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 24 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, addiction, grief, mood disorders, and major life changes. Tommy also addresses issues such as parenting strain, sleep problems, impulsivity, and difficulties with attachment.

Tommy uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different ways of responding. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas when helping people clarify values and repair interpersonal patterns.

Sessions focus on practical tools you can use between meetings. That might mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing communication strategies, or setting small behavior experiments to test new habits. Homework is concrete and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable rather than adding busywork.

Tommy describes his work as direct and steady. He helps people reduce reactive responding, strengthen relationships, and manage cravings or mood swings with clear steps. He frames progress as gradual - small changes that add up over time.

Clients who prefer an experienced clinician for long-term concerns or sudden life disruption may find his approach helpful. He works in English and accepts clients internationally; check the session options before scheduling to confirm how he is currently seeing people.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Tommy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often helping with anxiety, depression, and anger by changing thinking patterns and routine responses. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills work to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT techniques are useful when intense feelings or impulsive actions get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, ACT, or attachment-based strategies fit best for current goals. That decision is revisited as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins between in-person visits. For people who prefer less time on camera, phone-style sessions can reduce bandwidth needs and feel more flexible. Ask about formats when you schedule so sessions match your daily routine and goals.
