Brendan Twist works with adults, children, and families addressing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, addictions, grief, anger, family discord, and workplace distress. He brings a warm, accepting presence to sessions while focusing on practical skills clients can use to resolve problems and pursue more fulfilling lives.
His primary approach is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness - learning to maintain healthy relationships while also meeting personal needs. He is also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and play therapy, and integrates these methods as appropriate.
Brendan encourages people who are facing mental health concerns, struggling in relationships, or feeling stuck to reach out. He prioritizes building trusting therapeutic relationships and collaborating with clients to identify strategies that support greater balance and wellbeing.
He is a licensed clinical social worker in New York (NY LCSW 095499) and Montana (MT LCSW BBH-LCSW-LIC-39110) with seven years of clinical experience. Brendan is a male, non-religious, liberal therapist based in New York.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions - online therapy can be as helpful as in-person care. Research and clinical experience indicate that remote sessions often produce meaningful progress for these kinds of issues.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can meet with a therapist in the format that works best for them - video visits, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily life.
Each provider offering online services is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. This approach can make consistent care more accessible while still connecting people with trained clinicians who address common mental health needs.
