About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York. He brings three years of LCSW practice to sessions and focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and trauma-related concerns. He aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for someone worried about their next step.
He uses a mix of methods to match a person's needs rather than one fixed style. Sessions often involve talking through recent patterns, identifying feelings that keep people stuck, and trying small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Thomas pays attention to attachment patterns and how they show up in relationships and daily life. Clients commonly bring issues such as depression, addictions, intimacy struggles, parenting strain, eating concerns, or trouble coping with big life changes. He also works with those navigating blended family issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and fatherhood matters.
Workplace stress, social anxiety, and trauma after sexual assault or other abuse are also within his focus. Thomas integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and respond to emotions that underlie conflict and distress. He also draws on Attachment-Based and Cognitive Behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns.
The mix allows tailoring the work to what a person needs most. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. He supports a range of communication formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.

Online support
How emotional and attachment-focused approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and respond to core emotions that drive conflicts and relationship patterns. It is useful when strong feelings keep repeating or when connections feel fragile.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current interactions and trust. It can help people notice patterns in closeness, distance, and caregiving dynamics and then try new ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts that lead to distress and testing small behavior changes. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving practical tools to shift day-to-day reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments happen over time if something needs to be changed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when useful, phone requires less bandwidth, chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, travel constraints, or different time zones.
