Thomas "Tom" Wissert, LPC

Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on stress and anxiety alongside depression, ADHD, and relationship concerns. He talks plainly and listens carefully to help people sort out worry, mood problems, and difficulties in close relationships. Tom aims to respond to messages within 24 hours and checks in throughout the day to keep communication timely.

Tom combines practical strategies with a person-centered style. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts without getting overwhelmed by them.

Many clients come for help with life changes, grief, addiction, anger, or struggles around intimacy and parenting. He uses motivational interviewing and active listening to help people find their own reasons to change and to see situations from new angles. Tom describes listening as a central part of his work and uses what clients say to uncover deeper patterns.

Tom has 14 years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential. His background includes supporting people with mood disorders, panic attacks, and problems related to attachment and codependency. He blends several approaches to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. People can expect clear, actionable steps between meetings and regular check-ins on progress. Those interested should confirm current session options before booking.

How ACT, CBT and Attachment Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior, then focus on actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and habits, which often reduces worry and improves mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust, useful for intimacy and family-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust those methods over time. That way the plan stays practical and relevant to what the person wants to accomplish.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help people join from different locations, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also reduce travel time and let people follow up between sessions through messages when that option is offered. Discussing these practical needs during scheduling helps find a setup that fits everyday routines.
