Dr. Tommy Frye, LMHC, LPC

Dr. Tommy Frye is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, and life changes. He also works with concerns such as parenting challenges, ADHD, caregiver stress, and aging and geriatric issues. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.

Dr. Frye favors a direct, practical approach in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals and steps to reach them. He uses conversational techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and build new habits that fit daily life.

His toolbox includes Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches are used to address thinking patterns, emotional connection, motivation, and present-moment coping. Treatment plans are tailored to the person rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Over his career Dr. Frye has supported people across many stages of life and a range of concerns. He aims to create a comfortable, empathetic space where people feel heard. In sessions he typically clarifies priorities, teaches practical skills, and reviews progress over time.

To begin, he asks about a person’s most pressing issue and collaborates on a plan to improve functioning across physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional areas. He frames therapy as a partnership focused on helping people move toward greater peace and satisfaction.

Approaches that guide online work

The therapist commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and helping people find their own solutions through a supportive relationship, which helps when someone needs space to sort feelings or make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thoughts and behaviors by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing concrete skills to change reactions and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. This means trying techniques, checking what helps, and shifting focus when needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use therapy around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to an online setting so people can use tools in their daily routines.
