Niyabinghi Thomas, LCSW

Niyabinghi Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, and issues like trauma, depression, and addiction. She works with adults who are navigating life changes, grief, intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and related struggles. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things.

Thomas keeps sessions paced to the person. She creates space for honest conversation without judgment and does not push change on anyone who is not ready. Her work includes life coaching elements for people wanting practical next steps alongside therapy work.

She blends several approaches to tailor support. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. Motivational interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by drawing out their own reasons to move forward.

With four years of experience as an LCSW, Thomas draws on practical tools and straightforward talk. She respects each client’s timeline and goals, and she works to make sessions useful from the first visit. People often come for help with coping skills, improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing mood or stress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration. Online sessions using this approach are about building a supportive connection and helping the person set their own pace and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises and tracking to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Delivered online, CBT often includes homework and brief skills practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Niyabinghi will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time, checking in regularly to see what feels useful and what needs to change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep consistent appointments, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the specific session formats are not listed in her profile, confirm current session options before booking to know whether video, phone, or other formats are available.
