About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He brings three years of professional experience to his practice and focuses on helping people who are weighed down by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and related concerns. He meets people where they are and explains problems plainly.
He helps clients map out difficult choices and break down what feels stuck. Sessions are aimed at finding practical next steps rather than quick fixes.
How Thomas works
Thomas uses a mix of approaches to match the person and the issue. He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, to address anxiety and mood concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method guide work on relationship and intimacy problems, while Jungian Therapy adds attention to meaning and personal patterns. In sessions he works collaboratively to tailor techniques to the person’s needs. He helps people with addiction concerns, eating issues, anger, sexual assault and abuse recovery, workplace stress, and challenges related to parenting or blended families.
He also supports those navigating divorce, codependency, and family of origin concerns. Thomas offers services in English and accepts international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
To begin, clients follow the provider’s sign-up flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on availability.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early caregiving and current relationship patterns affect how people connect and feel safe with others; online sessions can use this framework to identify repeating patterns and repair connection in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify core emotional responses in relationships and build new ways of expressing needs and responding to partners.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the approach matches changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deep emotional work, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and convenience.
