Thomas Brent, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Thomas

Thomas Brent is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. He has three years of documented experience and works with adults facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, and parenting challenges. He also addresses trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and workplace or social anxiety problems.

Thomas keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He helps people name the problem, notice patterns, and try new ways of responding.

Background and approach

He tailors his approach to the person and the issue rather than using one fixed method. Sessions can include conversation, behavior-focused strategies, and work on emotions in relationships. His background includes a mix of therapy approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy or EFT, the Gottman Method, and Jungian Therapy.

That range allows him to pull different tools into the work depending on what a person needs. The LCSW license is NY LCSW 024112. Thomas offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as session formats. Payment follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability.

Thomas aims to make the process simple so people can focus on the work they want to do.

Therapeutic approaches for relationship and life concerns online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people understand patterns of closeness, trust, and distance so they can try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT focuses on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple steps to test beliefs and build different habits for anxiety, depression, or stress.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. Thomas will talk with each person about their goals, strengths, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on emotions in relationships, change unhelpful thinking, or combine tools from different methods to suit the issue.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions fit tight schedules, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
