About Thomas
Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and he also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns.
Tom uses straightforward talking, listening, and practical exercises in sessions. He often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking. He also uses motivational interviewing and person-centered approaches to help people clarify what matters to them.
In relationship-focused work he addresses communication, parenting strain, and intimacy-related issues. He helps people name patterns that cause conflict and practice different ways of responding. He also works with grief, life changes, stress, and addictions, including drug and alcohol concerns.
Attachment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, and anger are among other areas he supports. He includes mindfulness techniques and elements from acceptance and commitment work when they fit a client’s goals. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Tom describes listening as a core part of his practice and aims to respond to messages quickly, commonly within a day. He blends conversation with targeted skills practice and follows up on what people report between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and closeness in relationships, and it can be useful for intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting what is used over time.

It also makes it simple to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into conversations.
