About Todd

Todd Abraham is an LPC in Virginia who uses practical, skill-based methods to help clients navigate addiction, mood challenges, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical experience, he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen motivation for change. His work also addresses issues such as drug and alcohol addiction, financial stress, phobias, social anxiety, and self-esteem concerns.

He aims for a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship, shaping interventions to fit each person’s needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on clear goals, actionable steps, and tools clients can use between appointments to manage stress, shift unhelpful thoughts, and approach difficult situations with greater confidence.

Todd frames therapy as a team process that honors sensitivity and compassion while encouraging practical progress. People who seek out his services can expect a direct yet supportive style that emphasizes skills practice and motivation.

He invites clients to take the first step toward change and offers guidance aimed at building resilience and measurable improvements over time.

CBT and Motivational Interviewing for Online Support

Todd uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, phobias, and issues with mood. Motivational Interviewing is used alongside CBT to explore ambivalence, strengthen commitment to change, and support progress in areas such as substance use or financial behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adapt methods based on how well they meet the client’s needs and preferences. This shared decision making helps tailor the pace and focus of work so it feels practical and achievable.

Online delivery offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to use tools between meetings. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, actionable support while clients practice skills in their everyday environments.
