What are some situations in which a therapist might feel uncomfortable challenging family members who come from other racial or ethnic groups, or whose sexual/romantic affiliations are un usual or unexpected?

I would appreciate if anyone could help me with the following social psychology question please.

Thomas feels comfortable relying on and being close to his immediate family members, yet he seeks extremely intimate, clingy romantic relationships. He also keeps his distance from his friends, not disclosing too much to them or counting on them. How would you analyze his differing attachment styles?
