Thomas Fronczak LCSW-R, LICSW

I am a licensed clinical social work psychotherapist offering Telehealth across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island, and in-person sessions at my Buffalo, NY office. With over 30 years of clinical experience, I provide evidence-based care, infused with dignity and respect, that honors each person's strengths and resilience. I work with adults and older adolescents in individual psychotherapy, within a holistic, integrative model of care. My approach is cooperative, collaborative and with a here-and-now focus: you know yourself better than anyone, and it is you who sets the direction and pace of the work. As a therapist, my role is to bring clinical knowledge, expertise and insight alongside your own, so we build the work together. I see therapy as a partnership, where we combine our knowledge and insights to co-create meaningful growth and healing to support both mental and physical well-being. None of us gets through this thing called life alone My work is integrative - combining evidence-based psychotherapy with mind-body practices, drawing on mindfulness-based and acceptance-based approaches (ACT), CBT, and the principles of Lifestyle Medicine, which looks at how daily habits such as nutrition, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and social connection affect both mental and physical health. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions, as well as grief and loss, including pet loss. I also work with alcohol and substance use, and with men navigating compulsive sexual behavior, erectile dysfunction, or patterns of pornography use that are creating stress or strain in their lives and relationships. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodiversity-affirming, welcoming clients of all identities, including those with ADHD. I hold a master's in social work from the University at Buffalo and am a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work. I'm also a trained yoga and meditation instructor and hold a Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from Cornell University.
