About Tommi-Jai
Tommi-Jai Walsh is an LSCSW in Kansas and an LCSW in Missouri with 21 years of counseling experience. He works with people who bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and questions around gender and sexuality. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
He uses straightforward talk and practical techniques to address thinking patterns that cause distress. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different ways of responding. He also supports people who need help naming and feeling strong emotions tied to past events.
Tommi-Jai describes himself as low key and personable and brings a sense of humor to sessions. He identifies as a trans woman since 2020 and has experience with LGBTQ+ issues and alternative lifestyles. He says this background informs how he talks about identity, relationships, and sexual culture without judgment.
In practice he focuses on concrete skills as well as reflection. That can mean learning new coping tools, practicing communication strategies, or looking at how past events shape current patterns. He helps people set goals and make a step-by-step plan for change.
People who prefer a direct, practical style tend to do well with his approach. He mixes talking through problems with short exercises and behavior-focused tasks between sessions. Clients can expect clear aims for sessions and attention to both thoughts and emotions.
How his approaches translate to online work
Tommi-Jai often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT involves setting clear goals, trying specific behavior changes, and reviewing what helps over time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Figuring out which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide whether to emphasize thought-focused work, emotion-focused exploration, or skills training. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to remote sessions and suggest simple between-session tasks that work in ordinary settings.
