About Thomas
Thomas Barlee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Delaware with nine years of experience. He focuses on relationship and parenting concerns alongside anxiety, depression, anger, and grief. Thomas helps adults who are dealing with changes at home, difficult conversations, or the everyday strain of caregiving and parenting.
He uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It can also mean experimenting with small changes between meetings. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered ideas to keep work focused and usable in daily life.
Thomas pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics affect relationships. He also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, ADHD, and the stress that comes from caregiving or major life transitions. When needed he addresses communication and control issues that often trigger conflict at home.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client, build simple skills for managing emotions, and set achievable steps for change. Thomas uses motivational interviewing to help people resolve ambivalence and move forward at their own pace.
He offers services in English and is open to working with international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients use the site matching tool and schedule a first session after a short questionnaire.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Thomas uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes that leave someone stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT often helps with anger, mood, and anxiety by giving concrete strategies to test between sessions.
He also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s goals and perspective. This means the therapist listens for what matters most and works alongside the client to shape each session around those priorities.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Thomas will review goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what works for the client. He discusses options and helps clients choose steps they feel able to take.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use video or phone in ways that match their needs without committing to a particular in-person arrangement.
