About Tommy
Dr. Tommy Frye is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience in clinical work in Florida. He sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, depression, addictions, parenting pressures, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
He practices in a direct, conversational way. He listens for what feels most urgent and helps people set practical goals. He uses methods that focus on thoughts, feelings, and everyday behavior to change how people cope with problems at home and work.
Tom uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for what a person brings and to guide conversations by the client’s priorities. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build different ways of responding. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mindfulness techniques are part of his approach when emotional connection and present-moment awareness are needed.
Over his career he has worked across child, adolescent, and adult settings and has substantial experience with relationship concerns and parenting issues. He also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, fatherhood issues, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and recovery from trauma and abuse.
When meeting someone new he typically talks through the main problem, suggests concrete steps, and agrees on short-term goals. He uses motivational strategies when change feels stalled and practical exercises people can use between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions let a therapist and client talk through current problems, prioritize goals, and set practical next steps in the same way they would in person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors. In an online session CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, practice alternative responses, and assign short exercises between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and change patterns in emotional connection. When attachment or relationship strain shows up, EFT techniques aim to name emotions and try new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the client’s goals, preferences, and daily demands. That might mean focusing on thought work for anxiety, skills practice for parenting stress, or emotion-focused work for intimacy concerns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can also use session work to practice skills between meetings and to keep momentum when life is hectic.
