About Thomas

Dr. Thomas Davis, NC Psychologist 0742, is a licensed psychologist in North Carolina with 46 years of clinical experience. He holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology and has practiced in a medical facility for much of his career. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD among other areas.

Dr. Davis describes the client as the expert on their own life and positions himself as the professional who organizes that expertise into practical plans. He begins therapy by defining the problems to address and by creating a problem-oriented treatment plan. Sessions emphasize thoughts first, then behaviors, then emotions, and he commonly assigns homework to support progress between meetings.

He has experience working across a very wide age range and over decades often followed clients across life stages. That long-term perspective informed his work with intergenerational family patterns and allowed him to provide individual, couples, and family interventions as appropriate during his practice in the medical setting.

Dr. Davis reports having conducted psychological testing on over 5,000 people, including assessments for depression, anxiety, dementias, brain injury, personality development, ADHD, and learning disabilities. He uses test results to inform recommendations and therapeutic direction when available.

He aims for each session to leave clients with clearer self-understanding. After sessions he sends a brief follow-up note summarizing what was covered, homework agreed on, and next steps. Office hours are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Dr. Davis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine thought patterns that affect behavior and mood. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to change how people feel. Solution-Focused Therapy is shorter-term and goal oriented, concentrating on current strengths and small changes that move a person toward specific outcomes.

He treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and needs and then decide together which mix of methods to use. This collaborative process guides the treatment plan and homework assignments.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or family obligations. Confirm the current session options when you arrange the first appointment.
