About Thomas
Thomas Conley is an LPC licensed in Pennsylvania with 12 years of professional experience. He works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, depression, and life changes. He also focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, fatherhood concerns, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame.
In sessions he encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings. He uses straightforward talk to help people name what’s happening and consider practical next steps. He leans on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions.
Thomas brings Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused work when relationships and closeness are at the center of the concern. That can mean looking at patterns that repeat across relationships and learning new ways to connect. Motivational Interviewing can appear when someone wants to change substance use or other habits but feels stuck.
He aims to reduce shame by helping clients examine the stories they tell about themselves and test whether those stories fit the facts. In practice this often looks like small experiments, reflective questions, and clear skills to try between sessions. Thomas invites honest talk about where guilt comes from and what it asks you to do next.
People who reach out are guided through a first assessment, a plan for what to work on, and ongoing check-ins about progress. Sessions focus on achievable steps and realistic shifts in thinking and behavior.
How Thomas uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then chooses actions that match their values. It is useful when guilt or shame lead to avoidance and people want practical ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments, which can reduce rumination and shift behaviors tied to anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues come up.

They also make it simpler to continue work from different locations and to practice skills in the settings where problems occur.
