About Andre
Andre Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as LGBT issues, relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, intimacy-related problems, and coping with life changes. He also addresses family of origin issues and related matters like attachment, abandonment, and communication problems.
Thomas draws on a person-centered way of working that treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and on practical steps clients can take to feel validated and more comfortable in their day-to-day settings. He emphasizes increasing authenticity and self-worth while helping clients notice where outside expectations affect their choices.
His approach integrates several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for managing anxious or depressive thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide work on early relational patterns and how they show up now. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps with values-based change and coping strategies.
Clients can expect a balance of challenge and encouragement, with a direct style that may include humor. Thomas aims to help people clarify who they are, who they want to be, and how to change environments that feel invalidating. He also addresses topics such as gender dysphoria, body image, forgiveness, and issues related to kink and alternative sex culture when relevant to the client's goals.
He works in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site’s matching and scheduling flow.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to the client and building small, values-based actions. It can help with motivation, low mood, and coping when life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and self-worth. It is useful when family of origin dynamics or attachment issues impact trust and intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s perspective and strengths, offering a respectful way to validate lived experience while exploring changes the client wants to make.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include practical exercises, values work, and reflection on patterns that came from family life to see what to keep and what to change.
Confirm the session formats available before booking through the site’s scheduling flow. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a session into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when needed. The therapist will discuss how to make sessions work with everyday life and adapt methods to the client’s circumstances.
