More about Thomas

  • 8 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Hello. I am Tom WIssert a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama. My experience over the last several years has been with drug and alcohol addictions and the co-occurring issues and causes that go along with these addictions. More recently I have dealt with many different marital and relationship problems from intimacy to communication. Using Motivational Interviewing and Active Listening I have been able to help clients see things from a different perspective and to identify problem thinking. I would describe myself as a behaviorist using a Cognitive Behavioral approach and Person Centered counseling to help client resolve problems. Being a good listener is one of my best skills and using things clients tell me to unlock some deeper issues is a great reward for both the client and myself. I am generally available to clients on weekdays and some weekends if necessary. A goal of mine is a 24 hour message return. I usually check messages throughout the day and return messages before leaving the office.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Thomas Wissert is a good listener and as your circumstances changes, he finds ways to adjust and keep the flow of the session going.

I recommend Thomas Wissert for many reasons. The first and foremost is because he is truly a compassionate therapist who cares about helping hurting people. When I saw that Better Help had assigned me a male therapist …. I was scared, anxious & truth be told, not very happy. I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and I didn’t want to speak to a man about my abuse. However, I am so glad I gave Tom a chance. He has helped me & equipped me with the tools I need to process my trauma. I highly recommend Tom to any person needing emotional support.
