Thomas “Tom” Wissert is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Alabama. Over the course of 13 years he has focused much of his work on drug and alcohol addictions and the co-occurring issues that often accompany substance use.
More recently he has worked extensively with marital and relationship concerns, addressing matters from intimacy to communication. He uses Motivational Interviewing and active listening to help people view situations from a new perspective and to identify problematic patterns of thinking.
Tom describes his approach as behaviorally oriented, integrating cognitive behavioral techniques with a person-centered style to help clients resolve difficulties. Strong listening skills are among his key strengths, and he finds it rewarding to use what clients share to explore deeper concerns.
He is generally available on weekdays and offers some weekend appointments when needed. He aims to return messages within 24 hours, checks messages throughout the day, and typically replies before leaving the office.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
A major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that means video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to keep therapy consistent amid a busy life.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and if someone feels a different fit would be better they can switch therapists at any time. For many, online therapy offers an accessible, practical way to pursue support for everyday mental health concerns.
