About Tommy
Dr. Tommy Frye is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of experience. He focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, parenting, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also lists work related to trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns.
He uses straightforward, problem-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches he uses, alongside client-centered methods, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions emphasize practical steps and observable changes rather than long, abstract discussions.
Dr. Frye says he prefers to hear a person’s most pressing issue first and then build a plan together. That plan may include short-term skills for managing anxiety or longer work on relationship patterns and communication. He often brings behavioral exercises and thought records into sessions when they are useful.
His background includes many settings and experience with adolescents and adults. He has worked with people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and the effects of natural or human-caused disaster. His description notes experience related to fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and domestic violence.
Dr. Frye aims to respond within the next business day when contacted and asks prospective clients to use the site buttons to begin the intake process. He describes his overall goal as helping people increase functioning across physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional areas.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Frye uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach often involves clear homework, thought records, and brief behavioral experiments that fit well with remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the counselor follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape interactions and decisions and can help with intimacy and relationship patterns by naming and working with feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on presenting problems, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is reviewed and next steps are planned.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Some approaches like CBT lend themselves to exercises and worksheets that can be completed between sessions and reviewed remotely. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice skills in everyday life and keep work moving forward without requiring in-person visits.
