About Todd Helm
Todd Helm is a Missouri-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a state-licensed mental health therapist, with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes. His work includes a strong focus on men’s mental health and the pressures many men carry around identity, expectations, emotional expression, and the stigma that can come with asking for support. He helps clients make sense of life’s unexpected turns while building steadier ways to cope, connect, and grow.
In sessions, Todd supports clients in exploring life purpose and untangling guilt and shame, while also addressing attachment patterns, control struggles, and emotional barriers that can keep someone feeling stuck. He often works with concerns such as anger, disconnection from self or others, and relationship difficulties, and he is attentive to the ways some people manage pain through avoidance, overworking, substance use, or risky behavior. Additional areas of focus include communication problems, divorce and separation, family-of-origin concerns, fatherhood, men’s issues, midlife transitions, first responder stress, and veteran and Armed Forces issues.
Todd’s style is compassionate and non-judgmental, creating room for honest conversation without pressure to have everything figured out. He aims to keep therapy practical and grounded in day-to-day life, collaborating with each client to strengthen emotional awareness, improve communication, build resilience, and develop coping strategies that can be used beyond the therapy space. Using evidence-based approaches, he works alongside clients to shape a personalized path forward that reflects their goals and lived experience.

Evidence-Based Tools, Delivered Through Online Therapy
Todd Helm, LPC, draws from practical, research-informed approaches that help clients better understand what is happening internally and build workable strategies for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and habits and then testing new ways of thinking and responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It can support people who feel stuck in guilt, shame, anger, or avoidance by clarifying values and building new, realistic actions that fit their lives. Attachment-Based Therapy can also be helpful when relationship patterns, disconnection, or family-of-origin experiences are affecting current coping and communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Todd works collaboratively with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before, then adjusts the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure. Clients can meet Todd through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for support between sessions or when scheduling is tight. This range of options can make it easier to stay consistent during busy weeks, life transitions, or times when getting to an office would be difficult.
