Todd Gomez, LCSW, LISW

Todd Gomez is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. He offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or major life change. He also supports those navigating LGBT concerns, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, and career uncertainty.

Todd uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed tools to help people make small shifts that add up. He listens first, then helps you clarify what matters and pick manageable steps. Sessions aim to be direct and useful, not full of jargon.

Over two decades of practice in the Carolinas and Virginia have shaped his steady, person-centered style. He blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with emotionally focused work to address feelings and patterns that keep people stuck.

Clients can expect a focus on real-life problems like communication breakdowns, coping with loss, adjusting after change, and challenges tied to adoption, blended families, caregiving, chronic illness, or body image. He also works with people facing bipolar mood challenges and those handling work-related stress.

Todd describes himself as collaborative and affirming. He helps people set clear goals, notice unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, and try different ways of responding. The aim is to build skills people can use between sessions to feel more in control and more connected to their values.

How Todd’s approaches translate to online work

Todd draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that fits remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when life changes or low motivation get in the way of what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact, then tests small behavior changes to reduce distress. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress in daily life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats he uses. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow sessions without travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep therapy consistent during life transitions and ongoing stressors.
