Thomas Crepeau, LMSW

Thomas Crepeau is a licensed social worker with ten years of clinical experience in Michigan. He focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. Thomas uses straightforward talk and practical steps to help clients take the next step toward change.

He often helps people cope with grief and loss, manage symptoms of bipolar disorder, and handle major life transitions. He also supports people dealing with attention and focus concerns related to ADHD, and those struggling with sleep, stress, or depression. Hospice and end-of-life counseling is another area he has worked in.

Thomas favors clear goals and everyday tools. Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, trying new ways of thinking, and practicing small changes between meetings. He aims to make the work manageable so progress can be noticed week to week.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Thomas also brings a coaching mindset for people wanting practical strategies for career or life changes. He creates an open space where honest feelings can be named without judgment.

People who want direct, goal-oriented sessions tend to find his style useful. He encourages clients to set achievable steps and keeps the focus on what is most helpful right now. Thomas welcomes questions and will explain how therapy might look before any commitments are made.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Thomas uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into clear parts - thoughts, feelings, and actions - and then practices small changes that can lead to relief for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and stress.

He combines CBT with a practical coaching approach for people working on career moves or life transitions. That means sessions often include homework-style tasks, brief experiments to try between sessions, and problem-solving tailored to daily life. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; he works with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people do full sessions with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, quick coaching, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit regular work on goals into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
