About Thomas
Thomas Barlee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware with nine years of professional experience. He works with adults who want clearer relationships, better control of anger, and steadier moods. He also helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, grief, parenting strain, and identity or attachment questions.
Thomas focuses on straightforward conversation. He listens to what is happening now and what you want to change. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and values interact in daily life.
He uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. Those approaches get translated into day-to-day strategies: noticing automatic reactions, testing new responses, and choosing actions that match personal values. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they fit the work.
Thomas aims to make sessions a place to talk through triggers, practice different responses, and track small improvements. He does not promise quick fixes, but he helps people try concrete steps to reduce reactive outbursts and build more reliable patterns of behavior.
People who come for anger concerns often also bring relationship or intimacy issues. Thomas will help connect those threads and focus on what will make life easier and less strained over time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Thomas frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values. ACT focuses on reducing avoidance and moving toward chosen goals even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought-and-behavior patterns. CBT often involves trying new behaviors between sessions and tracking what helps reduce reactivity or low mood.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Thomas will collaborate with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, client-centered conversation, mindfulness practices, or motivational interviewing fit best for their goals. That choice can shift over time as progress and needs change.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping consistent appointments without long commutes. If you plan to join sessions from home or work breaks, think about a quieter spot and what format works for you. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to try homework, brief check-ins, and real-world practice between meetings.
