About Thomas (Thom) Wilder
Thomas (Thom) Wilder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who combines decades of experience with a person-centered, integrative approach to care. He brings 30 years of work in the mental health field and focuses on understanding each person's strengths, history, and needs before shaping a tailored plan for change. Thom emphasizes listening first so that therapeutic recommendations reflect the whole person - biological, psychological, and social factors - rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
He has specialized training in trauma and holds certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), which indicates focused preparation in assessing and treating traumatic stress. His trauma work addresses childhood trauma, event-related trauma, developmental trauma, and complex trauma. Alongside trauma, he treats mood concerns such as depression, anxiety, acute stress, bipolar disorder, anger, and grief, and he offers support for relationship challenges including couples therapy, communication skills, premarital counseling, conflict management, infidelity, and divorce, including gray divorce.
Thom also works with people coping with chronic conditions like long-term illness, chronic pain, caregiver fatigue, and ongoing stress, helping them find strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. He uses an integrative toolkit when developing treatment plans, drawing from cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, strength-based and client-centered approaches, solution-focused techniques, somatic therapy, and mindfulness practices. He adapts these methods to fit each person rather than forcing a single model.
Education and credentials include a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Auburn University Montgomery (1980), a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University (2016), licensure as an LPC in Texas (License number 77731), and certification as a clinical trauma professional. These qualifications support his work with individuals and couples facing a wide range of life challenges and transitions.
