About Todd
Todd Helm is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with four years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. He often works with men facing pressures around identity, expectations, and emotional expression.
Todd helps people name what feels stuck and then tries practical ways to change it. Sessions are straightforward and focused on skills that can be used between meetings. He pays attention to patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect day-to-day mood and behavior.
Common topics include dealing with guilt and shame, addressing avoidance or risky coping, and sorting out control or attachment issues. He also supports people working through substance use, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, or career and life shifts. Conversations tend to link immediate concerns to longer standing family of origin patterns.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means sessions mix talking, practical exercises, and skills practice rather than only reflection.
Todd aims to help clients build emotional awareness, improve communication, and try different ways of managing stress. People leave with a plan they can use outside sessions to handle triggers, set boundaries, and take small steps toward clearer goals.
How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Todd uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. ACT often involves brief exercises to clarify values and small, committed actions that fit a person's life. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses what methods fit best with each person's goals and preferences and adjusts the plan together over time. That collaborative process helps prioritize which skills or practices to focus on first.
Please confirm the current online session options before booking because the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity during life changes, while the therapist and client decide which tools will transfer best into day-to-day routines.
