About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He brings three years of practice to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. Thomas aims to help people untangle relational pain, worry, and the everyday stress that makes choices feel impossible.
Thomas sees many common concerns: anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy troubles, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strain, and work-related stress.
Background and approach
He also pays attention to attachment patterns and blended family or fatherhood issues when those are relevant. His experience includes helping people manage bipolar symptoms, anger, eating concerns, and self-esteem struggles. In therapy he uses approaches like the Gottman Method for relationship work, Attachment-Based Therapy to look at closeness and trust, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Jungian ideas when they suit the person’s story. Thomas adapts methods to fit each person rather than applying a single technique. Sessions move at a practical pace.
Thomas helps people map their problems, break them into manageable steps, and try things that can change daily life. He emphasizes clear conversation and collaborative planning so clients know what to try between sessions. Thomas offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions are available in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support
Online approaches for relationships and everyday stress
Thomas often uses the Gottman Method to help people and partners notice interaction patterns and learn new ways to talk about conflicts and connection. Gottman-informed work focuses on communication skills, rebuilding friendship, and practical exercises that couples can practice between sessions.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonding shapes current closeness and trust. This approach helps people understand emotional needs and respond differently in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Thomas works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and he adapts plans as progress unfolds. He encourages collaboration and regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging allows short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent therapeutic work.
