More about me

Licensing: LPC Years in Practice: 8 State: Alabama

Hello. I am Tom WIssert a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama. My experience over the last several years has been with drug and alcohol addictions and the co-occurring issues and causes that go along with these addictions. More recently I have dealt with many different marital and relationship problems from intimacy to communication. Using Motivational Interviewing and Active Listening I have been able to help clients see things from a different perspective and to identify problem thinking. I would describe myself as a behaviorist using a Cognitive Behavioral approach and Person Centered counseling to help client resolve problems. Being a good listener is one of my best skills and using things clients tell me to unlock some deeper issues is a great reward for both the client and myself. I am generally available to clients on weekdays and some weekends if necessary. A goal of mine is a 24 hour message return. I usually check messages throughout the day and return messages before leaving the office.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Mr. Wissert has helped me tremendously in dealing with my issue. The best thing about my therapist is his willingness to off practical advice on handling certain situations.

He is a very kind therapist while getting the job done.

Great introductory meeting

Tom is a wonderful listener and asks thoughtful questions - he has helped me work through some difficult things I've been dealing with and I have made so much progress just talking through it all with him. He challenges you (in a good way) to look at things differently and help you grow.

Thomas will help you find the answer within you that you were always looking for

Thomas Wissert is a good listener and as your circumstances changes, he finds ways to adjust and keep the flow of the session going. Although I’m sure most do not like talking about their problems, he makes it easier to do so and he doesn’t feel like a stranger. I can go into each conversation feeling as if I’m entering a “No Judgment Zone.”

I appreciate his logical and reasonable help. He brings "common sense" and objectivity to our meetings. I appreciate his calm presence and practical comments.

He definitely listens to what you're saying and where you're coming from. He gives great advice. I feel I can share anything with him. He has a great open perspective on things.

I recommend Thomas Wissert for many reasons. The first and foremost is because he is truly a compassionate therapist who cares about helping hurting people. When I saw that Better Help had assigned me a male therapist …. I was scared, anxious & truth be told, not very happy. I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and I didn’t want to speak to a man about my abuse. However, I am so glad I gave Tom a chance. He has helped me & equipped me with the tools I need to process my trauma. I highly recommend Tom to any person needing emotional support.

Mr. Thomas has really helped me with life. I’d like to thank him for his wisdom and patience.

Thomas is a direct problem solver and very helpful with good questions and observations. He was able to help me identify what the actual problem is without letting me get lost is my sometimes indulgent recollections. Compassionate wise straight shooter. Would recommend.

Thomas listens and gives advice to try things that has worked for me.

Thomas was very helpful. I want to thank him very much.

Tom responds to me quickly.

I’ve just begun working Tom and have only had one session, but I find him to be a no nonsense therapist that actively listens and guides me to key insights. I would highly recommend him
