About Todd
Todd Helm is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri who focuses on men’s wellbeing. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life changes. He speaks plainly and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult emotions and decisions.
He pays attention to how attachment patterns and family history shape current choices. He also addresses substance use, control issues, guilt, shame, and problems that first responders or veterans may face. Sessions often include practical steps to reduce avoidance and risky coping behaviors.
Todd’s style is direct but compassionate. He creates a non-judgmental space where people can try out new ways of expressing needs and managing strong feelings. He emphasizes skills that transfer to everyday life, like clearer communication and emotion regulation.
He draws on several well-established approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He collaborates with clients to shape a plan that reflects their goals and daily routines.
With four years of clinical experience, Todd aims to help people build resilience and find clearer direction. He focuses on practical progress rather than quick fixes, and on helping people reconnect to purpose, healthier habits, and more honest relationships.
How his approaches translate to online work
Todd uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with values, unhelpful thoughts, and behavior change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings that come up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, personality, and daily life. This means clients and therapist adjust strategies over time if something isn’t working.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help make therapy fit a busy schedule by reducing travel time and making it easier to fit a session into a lunch break or between errands. They also allow using tools like worksheets, between-session exercises, and brief check-ins that support skill practice in everyday situations. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions to focus on short-term coping skills or longer-term change depending on the client’s needs.
