About Tommy

Dr. Tommy Frye helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and life transitions. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy and commitment questions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career stress. Dr. Frye works with adults and younger clients across a range of emotional and behavioral issues and frames his work around what each person brings to sessions.

He brings 25 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Dr. Frye aims to create a calm, empathetic space where people feel heard. He often uses Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Rational Emotive Behavioral techniques to help clients notice patterns and try small changes that make daily life easier.

In sessions he listens for what matters most and then builds a practical plan. That plan can include skill-building, communication practice, and steps to manage intense feelings. He also draws on client-centered principles to adapt to each person’s pace and priorities.

Dr. Frye has worked with children, adolescents, youth, and adults in different settings, and he has substantial experience in marital and relationship work. He focuses on helping people improve how they cope, relate, and move forward after difficult events.

People who choose him should expect straightforward conversation and collaborative problem solving. He aims to support progress toward greater functioning emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

How these approaches translate to online work

Dr. Frye uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral approaches in a way that fits online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the client says, which helps shape each session around real concerns and immediate goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and as new priorities emerge.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and enable conversations from more convenient locations. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and communication to work well across remote sessions and in-person options when available.
