Thomas Floyd, LCSW-C, LICSW

Thomas Floyd is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) and the District of Columbia (LICSW) with 46 years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, motivation, and self-esteem. He also addresses relationship and family concerns and addictions where relevant.

He focuses on clear, direct conversation about what matters now. Sessions are a place to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. He helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings.

Thomas uses a range of approaches including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. That mix lets him help with short-term goals and longer-standing patterns that trace back to family of origin experiences.

In sessions he breaks issues into manageable parts. He will look at current habits, the stories people tell about themselves, and small behavior changes that can reduce stress and improve mood. He often combines noticing patterns with concrete skills practice.

Many people come to him for help with life transitions, parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, chronic illness, or job-related stress. He also works with concerns such as attachment or abandonment themes that originate in early relationships.

To begin, he asks about present concerns and past experiences that shape them. That information helps set short-term goals and decide which methods to use next. Thomas aims for straightforward, practical conversations that make next steps clearer.
