About Thomas
LA Medical Psychologist MP.001022 with 26 years of professional experience, Thomas Swanbon helps people in Louisiana manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. He also addresses concerns related to sexual orientation and identity for LGBT clients and works with issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. Thomas uses practical talk-based methods and aims to make sessions straightforward and focused.
Thomas favors a cognitive-behavioral approach balanced with psychodynamic elements. In sessions he looks at current thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and he also considers past patterns that influence present behavior. Conversations tend to focus on clear skills and real examples that people can try between meetings.
He adapts discussions and treatment plans to each person’s situation rather than following a fixed script. That can mean short-term work for a specific problem or longer work on deeper issues, depending on what a person needs. He frames therapy as a collaborative process with concrete goals.
Thomas brings steady practical experience to common problems like panic attacks, social fears, ongoing anxiety, and anger management. He describes clinical work in plain terms and aims to help people make manageable changes in daily life. Sessions are conducted in English and follow Louisiana practice standards.
To begin, people are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The session structure and pacing are discussed upfront so each person understands how the work will proceed.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Thomas describes his work as grounded in cognitive-behavioral methods and informed by psychodynamic ideas. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms such as panic attacks and social anxiety. Psychodynamic elements look at recurring life patterns and how past relationships influence current feelings and reactions.Choosing a primary approach is part of the early work. He will review a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend a mix of techniques. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what should change.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include making it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. If you are considering online options, confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know what to expect. The therapist will discuss session length, pacing, and how to use therapeutic exercises between meetings to support progress.
