01About Todd
Todd Helm is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. He focuses on practical steps that help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, and finding purpose. Todd is based in Missouri and works from a straightforward, down-to-earth approach.
Todd spends time listening first so he can understand what feels stuck or overwhelming. He uses short, practical exercises alongside conversations that build emotional awareness and better communication.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can use between meetings, not just talk. He pays special attention to issues that show up around attachment, control, and family of origin. He also supports people dealing with substance use, divorce and separation, guilt, shame, and problems that come up after service in the armed forces or first responder roles.
Todd helps clients notice patterns that keep them repeating the same struggles and then try different ways of responding. Todd draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening to shape a plan that fits each person. He describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets goals and he helps find paths to reach them.
The aim is steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes. With four years of clinical experience and licensure as an LPC, Todd focuses on helping people build resilience and clearer relationships to themselves and others. He works in English and offers several online communication options to suit different needs.

04Online support
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Todd uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice the thoughts and habits that contribute to anxiety and low mood, then try different, measurable actions that change outcomes. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on accepting difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Todd will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and daily life. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed recipe.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging works well for short updates or ongoing reflections. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting schedules, or times when leaving home is difficult, while keeping sessions focused on real-world changes and usable skills.
