About Thomas
Thomas Tellson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing relationship and family struggles. He focuses on intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Thomas brings a direct, respectful approach to sessions and aims to make the first step feel manageable.
He emphasizes clear communication and practical problem solving. Sessions often look like focused conversation about patterns that keep causing pain. Thomas listens for attachment and trust issues and helps clients name what is happening between people.
Background and approach
Thomas blends relationship-focused methods with work on thoughts and behaviors. He may use ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking, while drawing on emotionally focused and attachment-based ideas to address closeness and trust. Existential themes are also part of his approach when people are grappling with meaning, emptiness, or big life choices.
With four years of clinical experience, Thomas tailors each plan to the person in front of him. He treats each situation with sensitivity and aims to create straightforward goals people can act on. He supports parents working through fatherhood or blended family tensions and adults managing guilt, shame, or decisions about commitment.
People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Thomas invites honest talk about difficult topics like infidelity, control, or abandonment and helps clients find clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choices, and feelings of emptiness or aimlessness. It helps people facing big life changes think through values and make deliberate choices. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape trust and closeness. It helps people improve emotional bonds and communication with important others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit those aims. That process is collaborative and may mix approaches so the work matches the problem rather than fitting the problem to a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video helps reproduce face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy lives.
