About Tommy
Dr. Tommy Frye is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, and mood concerns. He holds the LMHC and LPC credentials and brings 25 years of clinical experience to conversations about behavior, emotions, and everyday struggles.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then focuses on clear steps people can try between meetings. His goal is to help clients make changes that feel useful in day-to-day life rather than only talking about problems.
Background and approach
Dr. Frye often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also draws on client-centered work to build conversations around what matters to each person.
Mindfulness and motivational approaches appear when they fit a client's goals. His background includes many years working across settings with adults and younger people. That experience shapes a flexible style that shifts depending on the issue - from coping with loss to working through parenting stress or substance concerns.
In sessions he prioritizes clarity and collaboration. People can expect direct feedback, homework that aims at small changes, and discussions about long-term plans when those are helpful. He frames progress as practical steps toward better day-to-day functioning.
Dr. Frye works with a wide range of life challenges, including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, career questions, and anger or impulsivity. His approach is guided by the client’s goals and the realities of their life.

How his approaches work online
Dr. Frye commonly blends cognitive behavioral work and client-centered care to address practical problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change parenting responses. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions around the person’s priorities and uses empathic listening to shape goals and next steps.Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That process means approaches may shift over time as needs change and progress is observed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, quick coaching, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people fit therapy into busy family or work routines.
