He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.

He has 25 years of professional experience and holds MA LMHC and NM LPCC credentials.

He also assists people facing divorce, isolation, guilt, and struggles with life purpose.

In sessions he focuses on clear, collaborative dialogue. He helps people name what is happening, break problems into manageable steps, and practice coping strategies that fit everyday life. He encourages small, achievable changes rather than sweeping promises.

Todd describes the work as an empowering process. He meets clients where they are and adjusts the pace to their comfort. He often draws on methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping the conversation straightforward and practical.

He welcomes international clients in addition to those in New Mexico. To begin, he asks people to reflect on what they most want to change and to bring that idea to the first conversation. He aims to support people as they take the first steps toward a more satisfying life.

How evidence-based work can fit into online therapy

Two common evidence-based techniques Todd may draw on are cognitive approaches and trauma-focused strategies. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try out different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused strategies focus on grounding, reducing overwhelming reminders, and building safety and coping skills after distressing events.

He also often emphasizes behavioral skills for daily life, such as pacing activities when coping with chronic pain or practicing small exposures for social anxiety and panic symptoms. These methods aim to create practical routines and measurable steps rather than abstract ideas.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use based on needs and preferences.

The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let people continue care if they move or live outside the therapist's immediate area.
