About Todd

Todd Gomez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 20 years of experience in the southeastern United States. He works with adults who are carrying guilt, shame, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He also supports people navigating LGBT issues, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Todd uses practical, conversational work rather than long lectures. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Sessions often focus on identifying stuck patterns, noticing painful thoughts and feelings, and trying small experiments to see what helps.

He pays attention to everyday pressures like workplace stress, blended family concerns, and caretaking strain. He also addresses concerns tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, body image, chronic illness, and aging. His work includes support around bipolar mood patterns, co-morbidity, and communication problems.

Todd frames therapy as a place to name painful feelings and take manageable steps. He helps people sort through guilt or shame that comes from past actions, identity questions, or relationship rifts. The approach is steady and practical, aimed at clearer thinking and more effective choices.

He practices in South Carolina and has held roles across North Carolina and Virginia during his career. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, guilt, and when decisions feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to reduce distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful and try methods together. That means approaches can shift as needs and goals become clearer, and the process is collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time to an office. Licensed professionals can use mindful exercises, values-based planning, and CBT homework in remote sessions to keep progress moving between meetings.
