About Thomas
Thomas Floyd is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 46 years of professional experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, motivation struggles, low self-esteem, and addiction-related concerns. He also offers support around relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, and challenges connected to chronic illness and caregiving. Thomas lists Men's wellbeing among his focus areas and works with clients who want practical, steady support.
He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and focused on what each person needs right now. Thomas listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps clients set small, achievable goals to build confidence and momentum.
His approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. That mix helps people spot unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and shift the stories they tell themselves. Thomas aims to translate those tools into everyday changes clients can try between sessions.
He emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace. Early work often centers on immediate concerns like sleep, cravings, or stressful life changes. Later sessions can address deeper themes such as loss, attachment, or identity.
Thomas is licensed in Maryland and the District of Columbia as indicated by his credentials LCSW-C and LICSW. He conducts sessions in English and draws on decades of experience to tailor care to each person’s situation.
How his approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows the client’s lead. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people name their priorities. That approach is useful for worries about identity, relationships, or feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes practical exercises for sleep, mood, or stress and works well for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Clients learn short exercises they can use during stressful moments or when sleep is disrupted.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Early sessions typically clarify what matters most and then adapt tools over time.
