Thomas (Thom) Wilder, LPC

Thomas (Thom) Wilder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. He focuses on stress and anxiety alongside mood, relationship, grief, and trauma concerns. Thom aims to learn each person’s story first and then build a plan that fits their needs and strengths.

Thom listens closely and keeps sessions straightforward. He draws on client-centered listening to understand what matters most to the person in front of him. From there he may introduce practical tools from cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness, or skills-based approaches depending on goals.

He often helps people who are dealing with life transitions, chronic health or caregiving strain, and complicated grief. Relationship challenges such as communication problems, infidelity, or divorce are also part of his practice. He also supports people managing mood disorders, addiction concerns, and trauma-related issues.

Thom uses an integrative approach that considers biological, psychological, and social factors. That means he looks at habits, relationships, and daily routines when shaping a plan. He adapts tools rather than using a single fixed method so the work fits the person’s life.

Education includes a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Auburn University at Montgomery and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. He holds a Texas LPC and has experience working with trauma as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How Thom’s Approaches Fit Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It involves listening closely and helping people find their own solutions, which works well in regular online conversations about day-to-day challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments and practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and low mood by teaching clear skills to change thinking and behavior.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting pulled into them. Simple breathing and attention exercises can reduce reactivity and support better coping with stress and chronic conditions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Thom will talk with the person about goals, try out techniques, and adjust what they do together. The plan can change as needs evolve so the work stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow check-ins during transitions, and reduce travel time. Some approaches adapt well to brief video conversations or phone check-ins while others use worksheets and between-session practice that you can do on your own time.
