Thomas "Tom" WissertLPC

Thomas "Tom" Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama. He helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and the stress that comes with life changes. He also supports clients facing grief, addiction, anger, self-esteem issues, and parenting challenges.

Tom often listens first and asks practical questions to clarify what matters most. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. His background includes work with relationship and intimacy-related issues and with people managing mood disorders and trauma-related concerns.

Tom describes listening as a key part of his approach and aims to respond to messages within 24 hours. He uses what clients share to uncover patterns and to set small, doable goals. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can take between meetings.

He brings 14 years of counseling experience to his work and combines acceptance-based strategies with skills training when needed. People can expect straightforward feedback, reflective listening, and practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily routines.

Many clients come for help with decision-making, career and financial stress, or issues tied to attachment and codependency. Tom works from a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included, and he balances that with evidence-based techniques to address mood, panic, and substance concerns.

Approaches to online care and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and feeling unsure after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can be useful when intimacy or codependency problems interfere with close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tom will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and what feels most practical. He often combines listening, values-oriented tasks, and skill practice so that therapy matches everyday life and struggles.

Confirm the online session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when weeks are hectic. They also let people practice skills in the environments where problems occur. A therapist will help you choose an approach and a session rhythm that works with your routines and goals.
