More about Todd

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Missouri, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with a strong focus on men’s mental health. I understand that many men face unique pressures related to identity, expectations, emotional expression, relationships, and the stigma of asking for help. My work is especially centered on helping men navigate life’s unexpected journeys while building healthier ways to cope, connect, and grow.

I help clients explore life purpose, address feelings of guilt and shame, and work through attachment, control, and emotional barriers that may be keeping them stuck. I’m particularly passionate about supporting men experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, anger, relationship difficulties, and the challenge of feeling disconnected from themselves or others. I also work with men who may turn to avoidance, overworking, substance use, or reckless behaviors as a way of managing deeper pain.

My therapeutic style emphasizes creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can speak openly without fear of criticism or having to “have it all figured out.” I believe therapy should be practical, meaningful, and grounded in real life. Together, we work to strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies that translate beyond the therapy room.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I collaborate closely with clients to create personalized approaches that honor their unique experiences and goals. Whether you’re struggling with life transitions, self-esteem challenges, relationship stress, or seeking greater emotional balance, I’m committed to walking alongside you with genuine empathy, professional support, and a clear focus on lasting growth.

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.
