About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works from New York. He uses practical, down-to-earth conversation to help people untangle worry, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He brings three years of experience as an LCSW to sessions and speaks English.
Thomas accepts international clients and offers several online session options to fit different needs. Thomas focuses on what feels stuck. He helps people map problems so they can make clearer choices.
Background and approach
He listens for patterns from early relationships and from current stresses. Then he works with each person to try approaches that fit their situation and goals. In sessions he often looks at how attachments and past relationships shape present reactions.
He also uses techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For couples or intimacy concerns he draws on emotion-focused and relationship-centered methods to improve connection and communication. Thomas supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar challenges, eating concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
He also helps with parenting stress, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and workplace difficulties. He is comfortable talking about LGBTQ matters and fatherhood issues. Sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and the subscription model in use.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early connections shape feeling and behavior. Online sessions use discussion and reflective exercises to notice those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying short experiments between meetings, and using worksheets or brief exercises to change routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples and partners identify core emotions and reshape how they respond to each other. Through video work and guided conversations, partners can practice new ways of listening and responding that strengthen connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and sessions will adjust to focus on what helps most in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexibility with formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read visual cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions can fit a tighter schedule or use less bandwidth. Messaging and chat are useful for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or keeping therapy going between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while still using the approaches described above.
