About Thomas
Thomas Floyd is a licensed social worker in Maryland with 46 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. He creates a calm space where people can talk openly and be heard without judgment.
He focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions often look at what is getting in the way of daily functioning and work toward small, manageable changes. He emphasizes listening first, then helping people identify options they can try between meetings.
His approach draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. That mix is used to address things like coping with loss, relationship strain, substance concerns, and burnout. He helps clients map patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Thomas aims to make the process collaborative. He checks in about what is and isn’t working, and adjusts methods based on each person’s goals. People often leave sessions with clear next steps and ideas to practice on their own.

How Thomas’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what each person says. It helps people feel heard and lets the session follow the concerns they bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.These approaches suit common issues like grief, stress, addiction, and coping with major life changes. The therapist will work together with each person to choose the methods that fit their goals and daily routine. That collaborative planning is part of the process and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow conversations without commuting. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the matching process so sessions fit into everyday life.
