About Thomas
Thomas Newman is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to ease daily strain and rebuild emotional balance. He keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative.
Conversations often center on current struggles like panic, low mood, or feeling isolated. He helps people name what’s happening, learn coping skills, and try small changes that make a real difference.
Background and approach
Thomas brings a varied life background to his work, including time as a professor, a French-trained chef, a photographer, and a decade working in a church. Those experiences shaped his plainspoken, patient style and his respect for individual life stories. His method blends client-centered support with specific techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
He also uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused skills and draws on existential ideas when people are wrestling with meaning and purpose. Sessions aim to build useful habits, clearer communication, and stronger self-compassion. Thomas emphasizes practical tools for daily life - breathing and grounding for panic, thought work for anxiety, and communication practice for strained relationships.
People come to him for help with caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about sexuality or life purpose. He offers a calm, steady presence while working with each person’s goals and pace.

Online support
How Thomas Uses Talk Therapy Online
Thomas often draws from the Gottman Method to help people practice clear communication and reduce conflict in close relationships. Gottman approaches focus on specific skills - like repair attempts and managing criticism - that can be practiced in sessions and between meetings.He also uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, accepting space where people feel heard and understood. That approach helps when someone needs to sort through confusing feelings or find their own direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another tool he uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients often blend approaches over time to address symptoms, relationships, and life purpose together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video lets people work closely on communication skills, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines.
