About Thomas

Thomas Floyd is a licensed social worker with more than 46 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and life changes. He focuses on practical steps that can make daily life easier and more manageable.

He creates an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through painful thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to build confidence, restore motivation, and address problems like sleep, eating, or work stress. He also supports people facing issues with intimacy, relationships, and self-esteem.

Thomas uses straightforward methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. He helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small, concrete changes. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing ideas are part of his approach when they fit someone’s needs.

He tailors conversation and exercises to what a person wants to achieve. Together the therapist and client set goals and check progress along the way. The tone is collaborative and focused on practical skills rather than jargon.

Thomas is licensed in Maryland and holds credentials for work in the District of Columbia as well. He conducts sessions in English and draws on decades of experience to help people recover stability and move toward goals.

How Thomas Uses Talk Therapy and Practical Tools Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and make sense of their feelings, which supports change and better decision making.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through concrete exercises.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and managing urges linked to addictions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Plans are adjusted based on what helps and what feels realistic for daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use strategies learned in sessions right away in their everyday routines.
