I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.
My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.
I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.
What clients should know before starting
Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.
If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.
There is something different about talking to someone who actually understands your world. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with identity and how they see themselves, and I offer sessions in both English and Haitian Creole. I bring particular care to clients from Haitian and Caribbean backgrounds and to women navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, loss, and everything in between. With more than 15 years of experience, I have seen what becomes possible when people feel genuinely seen and free to show up exactly as they are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Sunnyvale, CA
Searching for therapists in Sunnyvale starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with concerns similar to yours. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, what sessions may focus on, and which types of care they provide.
Sunnyvale has a smaller local market than nearby San Jose or San Francisco, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while still keeping care accessible from home. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles closely can help you see how each therapist works, how they communicate, and whether their availability fits your schedule.
Therapy in Sunnyvale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Sunnyvale, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, plan, and preferences.
