Hello! I'm Tohm and I’m a LCSW in New Jersey. I have worked in various psychiatric hospitals since 2012. My passion in counseling is to create a relationship built on safety, trust, and hope, where people feel accepted, heard, and challenged to grow in new and meaningful ways. I specialize in working with individuals aged 18 and older who struggle with depression, stress, grief, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and life changes. It's my privilege to assist someone through their difficulties and help them experience healing and relief. I believe therapy is most productive when it is supportive and casual, with a conversational tone and an open mind toward different strategies to address challenges. The key is a collaborative approach between both client and therapist. I offer lunchtime, evening, and some weekend hours. All sessions are virtual. Reach out for my exact availability. My counseling style is supportive, strength-based and rooted in direct inquiry. I believe in the dignity and worth of each person, and that the human spirit is quite resilient. As Kurt Vonnegut once boldly wrote, "It is hard to adapt to chaos, but it can be done. I am living proof of that: It can be done."

Seeking support is a courageous first step—and I’m glad you’re here. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of clinical experience, I offer a supportive and collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional impact of chronic health conditions or caregiving. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, we’ll work together to identify practical strategies while also exploring the deeper patterns that may be contributing to your current struggles. My approach is warm, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I believe every person deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and acceptance. Because therapy is not one-size-fits-all, I tailor each treatment plan to your unique goals and needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and psychodynamic principles, integrating techniques that best support your growth. I believe meaningful change happens within a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My role is to help you gain insight, build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

Find a therapist near you in Sea Girt, New Jersey

Finding a therapist near you in Sea Girt, New Jersey starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. New Jersey is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In New Jersey, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across New Jersey, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
