About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He has three years of post-licensure experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and depression. Thomas works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, intimacy challenges, eating issues, anger, and coping with life changes.
He draws from several therapy approaches to shape each session. People can expect practical conversations that map out problems into manageable steps.
Background and approach
Thomas aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small changes to test different ways forward. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the person's needs. Thomas pays attention to attachment issues, family of origin themes, and codependency when those patterns are relevant.
He also brings experience addressing post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and workplace stress. Thomas uses methods that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Jungian ideas, and Attachment-Based Therapy. He adapts these approaches rather than using a single fixed method, choosing what fits the person's goals and situation.
Therapy is offered in English and Thomas accepts international clients. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what works best for the person.
How Thomas Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in closeness and trust and try new ways of relating in their current relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. In online CBT sessions Thomas helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build practical skills to reduce anxiety and stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is aimed at emotional connection in relationships. When used online EFT supports people in naming emotions, clarifying needs, and practicing new interactions that improve closeness and conflict handling.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will talk with the person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. The process is collaborative and adapts over time based on what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and relational work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit quick check-ins or shorter updates. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and daily demands.
