About Tommy
Tommy Pool is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 30 years of experience. He works with people ages 13 and up on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and family conflicts. Short-term and longer-term concerns are both within his practice.
He focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most urgent and workable. Tommy encourages direct conversation about feelings, behaviors, and the steps someone can try between sessions.
Tommy draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports clearer emotional expression where relationship and attachment issues are present.
He also uses mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment noticing. Existential ideas are brought in for people thinking about meaning, loss, or big life transitions. Together these approaches support problems such as grief, anger, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem.
People who have faced trauma, substance issues, or caregiving strain are within his stated focus. Tommy works to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. He invites people to take small steps and to track what helps and what does not.
How his approaches translate to online work
Tommy uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s concerns and priorities, letting the conversation guide what is most important to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete exercises and small behavior experiments clients can try between sessions to test changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and express core emotions when relationship or attachment patterns are part of the problem.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current goals and preferences, adjusting over time based on what helps.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Talk with the therapist about practical needs like session length, whether video is preferred, and how to structure homework or between-session practice so it matches everyday life.
