About Thomas
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience, Thomas Birchfield focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, career issues, and depression. He spends much of his practice on health psychology and works with people facing changes in health, caregiving responsibilities, and workplace strain. Sessions are aimed at helping clients set and meet personal health and wellness goals.
Thomas uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and solution-focused therapy as his primary approaches. He adapts those methods to the concerns a person brings. The emphasis is on practical skills, clear goals, and regular review of progress.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions typically clarify goals and identify small, manageable steps. Later work often focuses on practicing new thinking patterns, stress management techniques, and problem-solving methods that fit daily life.
Thomas has worked for more than a decade with people coping with chronic pain, illness, and disability, and with caregivers managing ongoing stress. He also addresses social anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, communication problems, guilt, shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Thomas relies on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood concerns.He also uses mindfulness-based stress reduction to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These skills help lower everyday stress and make strong emotions easier to notice and manage.
Solution-focused work is part of his approach when clients want quick, concrete changes. That method highlights strengths, sets small goals, and tracks measurable steps toward those goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. You can adjust the plan as you learn what works best for your situation.
