About Todd

Todd Gomez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 20 years of experience based in South Carolina. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. He also notes additional focus areas such as blended family issues and adoption and foster care.

Todd uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people clarify what matters to them. He listens for values and priorities, then helps translate those into small, usable steps. Sessions often include talking through communication patterns, deciding where change is realistic, and practicing new ways of responding to conflict or stress.

His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. That mix lets him work on thoughts, emotions, and behavior together rather than only one part at a time. He uses mindfulness skills to slow down reactivity and CBT tools to test unhelpful thinking.

Todd’s background includes clinical work across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia over two decades. He has worked with people dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, divorce, and related issues. He also supports LGBT concerns and questions about identity.

People who choose him tend to be looking for clear, practical guidance rather than abstract theory. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process to schedule a first conversation and see how the fit feels.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what truly matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where choices feel unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation tasks where specific behaviors or patterns are targeted.

Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase clarity. These techniques pair well with CBT and ACT when managing stress or intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Todd will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He begins by asking what has helped before, what feels realistic now, and what small changes the person wants to try. That shared decision guides the plan for upcoming sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family responsibilities, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday life without demanding extra time.
