About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in New York. He brings three years of professional experience and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. He speaks English and works with people across locations, including international clients.
He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. He also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, eating issues, bipolar challenges, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Parenting and workplace stresses are regular topics in his work. Thomas uses a few different therapy ideas to match a person's needs. He draws on attachment-based approaches to look at how early bonds affect present relationships.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and develop clearer ways of responding. For couples or partners, he uses emotion-focused and Gottman-informed methods to improve connection and communication. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy happens at a pace set by the person seeking help, with concrete steps and homework when useful. He aims for simple language and clear goals so progress feels manageable. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.
The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location and therapist availability.

Online support
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work can help people notice attachment needs and try new ways of relating in real time during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often includes short exercises and homework that fit well with video or messaging formats. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners or individuals identify and express core emotions so bonds become clearer and more responsive.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Thomas will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT to stabilize mood, then adding attachment or emotion-focused work to improve relationships. The plan adjusts as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read tone and expressions while meeting from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and easier scheduling across time zones. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, travel, or family demands.
