About Thomas
Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He brings three years of practice in helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, and mood issues. He uses straightforward language and a calm presence to make therapy approachable for people feeling overwhelmed.
He focuses on mapping out the specific problems that keep someone stuck. Thomas helps clients name patterns that hurt relationships and day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
He listens for how past experiences, including attachment history, shape current reactions and choices. In sessions he combines approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect present relationships, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship and intimacy concerns.
He explains options and works with people to choose a path that fits their goals. Thomas aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of relating and coping. He helps with practical skills for anxiety, anger, and cravings, as well as conversations about identity, parenting, and blended family stress.
Work may include short-term problem solving or longer exploration of family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Thomas offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How attachment work and skill-based therapy translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns and practice different ways of relating to partners and loved ones. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors; it works well for anxiety, low mood, and stress through concrete exercises and homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and partners name and shift emotional responses that block closeness and repair; it can guide conversations about intimacy and trust.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize attachment work, CBT skill-building, EFT for relationships, or a mix based on progress and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and relational work when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a busy day or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adaptable to real life.
