About Thomas
Dr. Thomas Tashjian is an MA Psychologist practicing in Massachusetts with 33 years of experience. He helps people deal with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar issues, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward, skills-based methods. He focuses on thoughts, self-talk, and behavior to reduce frustration and improve day-to-day functioning. He also considers how physical state and medications affect mood and behavior, and talks through ways to separate those effects from psychological concerns.
Dr. Tashjian draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and somatic approaches. He often pairs conversation with practical exercises. He has run experiential therapy activities tied to outdoor exercise and animal-related stories that illustrate coping ideas.
His background includes work in language and development and experience as a pharmacologist studying medication effects on mood and behavior. That mix shapes a focus on both thinking patterns and biological influences when planning steps forward.
Outside of clinical work he is an outdoorsman, marathoner, and animal lover who writes short parables about dogs, cats, and horses. He also helps people identify new ways to use skills when injury or life changes remove familiar routines.
Therapeutic approaches used for remote work
Dr. Tashjian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment attention and simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness when needed. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
The biography does not state which online session formats he offers, so confirm current options before booking. Many people value remote sessions because they can fit meetings into a workday, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Remote work can also make it easier to continue therapy while managing health or mobility limits, and it allows practice of skills in everyday surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and DBT skills to online sessions so practical strategies are still the focus.
