About Todd
Dr. Todd Witmer welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. He speaks plainly and listens closely to help clients sort out stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
He has worked in counseling for 30 years and holds a Pennsylvania Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential. Much of his early interest came from wanting to understand his own family and to support people in his local congregation and community.
Background and approach
That experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style. In sessions he focuses on understanding your story and identifying small, doable next steps. He often helps people clarify goals, notice patterns that get in the way, and practice new ways of responding.
Conversations cover common concerns such as parenting challenges, intimacy problems, career changes, caregiving stress, and grief around loss or life stages. Todd draws on approaches that match each person’s needs, including client-centered listening, narrative work that looks at life stories, psychodynamic ideas about repeated patterns, and motivational techniques to build commitment to change.
Existential themes - questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility - also appear in his work when those issues matter to the client. He aims for a respectful, collaborative process. Sessions are practical and conversational, with an eye toward real-life changes a person can try between meetings.

Online support
How existential and client-centered work translates online
Existential Therapy here looks at questions of meaning, choice, and what matters most to someone. Sessions help people notice where they feel stuck, consider options, and make decisions that fit their values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard without judgment and shaping the pace of work around the person's needs. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen willingness to change, break down resistance, and set small, achievable goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client to learn about their goals, preferences, and everyday constraints, and then suggest ways of working that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as things evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can work well when someone has limited bandwidth or prefers voice only. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexible timing during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on the therapy itself.
