About Tommy

Tommy Fletcher is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a decade of focused practice to adults and teens seeking help with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy struggles, and issues with self-esteem and addiction.

Background and approach

He integrates practical skills with an appreciation for each person’s story, helping clients work through depression, grief, sleep and eating concerns, career transitions, and compassion fatigue while also addressing related challenges such as communication problems, codependency, and body image.

Drawing on a long professional history that includes social work roles and experience in legal settings, Tommy frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on their own life. He blends evidence-based approaches with a person-centered stance to support change and increased resilience.

Tommy is licensed as an LICSW and an LCSW and sees clients in New Mexico, offering appointments throughout the week in daytime and evening hours Monday through Thursday. He encourages people to recognize the courage in reaching out and works to make those first steps as manageable as possible.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) focuses on identifying and relating to different inner parts of a person, helping individuals understand and heal conflicting internal roles that contribute to anxiety, trauma responses, or relationship difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them while clarifying personal values, which can be useful for stress, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's lived experience and emphasizes empathy and acceptance to strengthen self-understanding and agency.

Deciding which approach to use is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions, adjusting methods over time so the work fits each person's needs rather than forcing a single model.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to attend consistently and to choose ways of communicating that feel most comfortable. These options support flexibility for scheduling and help maintain continuity of care when life or logistics make in-person visits difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to apply the same therapeutic frameworks across different communication modes.
