Tommi-Jai Walsh, LSCSW, LCSW

Tommi-Jai Walsh is a licensed social worker with over 21 years of clinical experience. He practices in Missouri as an LSCSW (Kansas) and LCSW (Missouri). He brings a relaxed, personable style and works from a nonjudgmental stance with a straightforward sense of humor.

Tommi-Jai is a trans woman since 2020 and is an LGBTQ+ member and ally. That perspective informs how he talks about identity, gender, and relationship matters. He also understands alternative sexual cultures and kink communities and approaches those topics without shame.

In sessions Tommi-Jai helps people notice thought patterns that increase distress and develop practical ways to respond differently. He also helps people name and process strong emotions that linger from past events. Conversations can include making sense of relationship challenges, jealousy, intimacy concerns, or parenting strain.

He uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. That can mean focusing on present thinking and behavior, working with emotions between people, or building skills to manage strong feelings. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s goals.

Clients often come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood differences, ADHD, and finding purpose. Tommi-Jai supports people as they map out steps toward clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and a more hopeful plan for the future.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and then decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior, and teaches simple skills to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, includes skills for managing strong emotions and improving how people cope during high-stress moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques can be mixed and adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions without needing to travel, or choosing a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered methods to remote conversations so people still practice skills, process emotion, and plan next steps.
