About Thomas
Thomas Floyd is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) and holds a licensed independent clinical social worker credential in the District of Columbia (LICSW). He brings 46 years of professional experience to work with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, anger, self-esteem issues, and career challenges.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what the person wants to change. He listens without judgment and encourages honest talk about feelings and behavior. He helps people set small, practical steps when motivation is low or when emotions feel overwhelming.
Thomas integrates client-centered practices with cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness tools to address unhelpful thinking and strong reactions. He also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to clarify values and reshape stories people tell about themselves. These methods are presented in plain language and linked to everyday problems like sleep trouble, workplace frustration, and relationship conflicts.
In sessions he works on problem-solving, behavior changes, and ways to manage intense emotions such as anger. He offers concrete strategies for coping with grief, sustaining recovery from substance concerns, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

How his approaches translate to online work
Thomas uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s concerns and goals. This approach means sessions begin with listening and moving at the client’s pace, which helps when anger or strong emotions come up. Client-centered work supports building practical plans matched to what matters to the person.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and real-world practice to test new ways of reacting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm intense feelings between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. He will work with the client to test methods, adjust techniques, and focus on what helps in day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps select whether CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or narrative work fits best.
