Tommy Fletcher

Tommy Fletcher is a licensed clinical social worker working in New Mexico. He brings ten years of counseling experience to sessions and focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. He also addresses a wide range of related challenges such as body image, communication problems, codependency, and compassion fatigue.

Tommy uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them identify their strengths. Conversations focus on small, doable steps toward clearer thinking and steadier emotion. He aims to build routines that support better sleep, healthier habits, and more effective coping.

His approach draws from several evidence-informed orientations including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term patterns that keep problems repeating.

Tommy has prior social work roles that include work connected to the legal system and many years of broader social service experience dating back to the late 1980s. He offers daytime and evening sessions Monday through Thursday to fit different schedules.

People seeking help are asked to start by using the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s posted availability.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then act toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and function, often through short exercises and homework. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and reshape emotional responses that affect relationships and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that match those needs. If an approach needs adjustment, the plan is changed together so work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy week, allow sessions during daytime or evening hours, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to use short skills practice between appointments and to bring examples from daily life into the conversation. If needed, scheduling can emphasize quieter or shorter check-ins to fit work breaks or limited bandwidth.
