Thomas Floyd

Thomas Floyd is a licensed social worker practicing in Maryland. He has more than 46 years of professional experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, addiction, and self-esteem concerns. He aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and hard changes.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can share thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as listening so clients feel understood. He emphasizes helping people find motivation and build confidence again.

Thomas uses a mix of methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. That means sessions can include talking through patterns, noticing unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment skills, and rewriting how a person tells their story. The mix is tailored to each person rather than following a single script.

He has worked across many concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family stress, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness and caregiving strain, and substance-related concerns. He also addresses topics like abandonment, attachment, body image, and career challenges.

People who choose him will find a steady, experienced clinician who prioritizes collaboration. He supports clients in setting clear goals and in building practical tools they can use between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work

Thomas often uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based ideas in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on empathetic listening and helping people choose goals that matter to them. CBT looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which blend of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking in, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use these options to help clients practice skills, manage anger or anxiety, and work through life changes from wherever they are.
