More about Todd
- 18 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW-R
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring nearly two decades of professional experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and workplace stress. I specialize in addressing social isolation, communication barriers, and personal growth challenges.
My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each individual's unique journey. I'm particularly committed to creating an affirming, supportive environment for LGBTQ+ clients and those seeking a progressive, non-religious therapeutic space. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, processing grief, or working through relationship transitions, I offer skilled, empathetic guidance.
I believe in empowering clients to develop stronger self-understanding, more effective communication strategies, and healthier emotional patterns. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, cultivate self-love, and create meaningful personal transformation.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
