Todd Helm, LPC

Todd Helm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and coping with life changes. He commonly works with men who face pressure around identity, emotional expression, and expectations. Todd aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can use what they learn in everyday life.

He helps people talk through feelings of guilt, shame, and disconnection. He addresses attachment and control issues that can keep someone stuck. He also supports those who cope through avoidance, overworking, substance use, or risky behavior.

Todd keeps sessions non-judgmental and direct. He encourages stronger emotional awareness and clearer communication. Sessions focus on building resilience and better day-to-day coping skills.

His work draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These methods are used together to match the needs and goals of each person.

With four years of clinical experience as an LPC, Todd aims to collaborate with clients to set realistic goals. He emphasizes practical tools that translate into real change. People looking for help with midlife questions, fatherhood concerns, veteran or first responder stress, or shifting life purpose may find his approach relevant.

Approaches used in online work and how they help

Todd uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT can help when someone feels stuck or unclear about life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another approach he uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT is practical and skill-focused, with tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Todd collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks in and adapts the plan as work progresses so clients feel the approach fits their life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to maintain momentum between appointments. Discussing logistics and session length during intake can help match therapy to everyday routines and commitments.
