Andre Thomas, LCSW

Andre Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and New Jersey with eight years of professional practice in behavioral health. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, identity concerns, addictions, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy. He also focuses on issues tied to trauma, family of origin, and gender dysphoria.

He describes a person-centered way of working that begins by listening to each person's lived experience. He treats clients as the experts on their own stories and helps them use their strengths to respond to challenges. He often helps people find concrete ways to change their surroundings so they feel more validated and safer in daily life.

His clinical toolbox includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and motivational interviewing. He draws on these to address patterns like abandonment, attachment difficulties, perfectionism, and low self-worth.

Andre pays attention to how people show up in relationships and to problems with communication, commitment, control, and intimacy. He also works with concerns connected to BDSM and kink culture, body image, and HIV/AIDS. He balances challenge and encouragement and sometimes uses humor while helping people clarify who they are and who they want to be.

People looking for practical, grounded help with identity, relationships, or coping with life changes will find his approach straightforward. To begin, he asks people to describe their situation so together they can set realistic, step-by-step goals for change.
