About Todd
Todd Gomez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. He works with clients on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and LGBT-related issues. He brings 20 years of experience and a calm, straightforward style to conversations.
Todd uses simple, practical techniques so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. He listens carefully to each person's story and tailors his approach to their goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on specific problems and realistic steps people can take at home and at work. His background spans work in South Carolina and nearby states, with long experience supporting people through loss, transitions, and identity questions. He also helps people manage chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of major life events.
Todd draws on several therapy methods to fit different needs rather than using a single toolbox. When communication patterns cause repeated conflict, he helps people notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating. For those coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, or blended family concerns, he offers steady guidance and problem-solving.
He also supports people living with bipolar disorder and co-occurring challenges. Todd holds licenses as an LCSW in North Carolina (NC LCSW C007445) and as an LISW in South Carolina (SC LISW 6254). He sees clients in South Carolina and works with international clients when needed.
How these approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which is useful for life transitions and ongoing stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful, nonjudgmental listening so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; this often helps with identity questions and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and supports practicing new skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the client's situation and schedule.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments.
