Todd Gomez, LCSW, LISW

Todd Gomez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. He works with clients who are exploring identity, facing relationship or career strain, or trying to rebuild self-esteem after loss. Todd brings 20 years of experience to his work in South Carolina and beyond.

He uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Todd emphasizes straightforward skills for managing difficult thoughts and feelings while also attending to what matters most to each person.

His approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - often called CBT - with acceptance and mindfulness practices. He also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen relationships and improve communication. That mix lets him tailor work to a person's needs rather than follow a single script.

Todd has supported people through a wide range of concerns including LGBT-related issues, family and relationship tensions, bipolar mood challenges, and caregiving stress. He also addresses topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness, and bereavement. Those areas often overlap, so sessions look at practical coping skills and life context together.

People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space where their story matters. Todd partners with clients to set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track progress over time. He aims for steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Todd blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered methods to help people address present problems and build meaningful routines. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. ACT teaches values-based action and accepting difficult feelings so people can move toward the life they want. Client-centered ideas shape the therapeutic relationship, with the therapist listening deeply and responding to each person's priorities.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Todd collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and comfort level. He adjusts pacing and techniques based on how someone is doing, so the plan evolves with progress and feedback.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and real-time skill practice, while phone calls can fit a quick check-in or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between sessions or to work in short bursts during a busy week. These options help people maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into their daily lives.
