Brianne Giallanza, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Brianne!

I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space for clients to talk about their problems or symptoms they are experiencing. I recognize that each person is different, and I am able to recognize what approach works best for that person. My passion is helping others heal and find solutions that are tailored to their needs.

My focus

I work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, loss of a loved one, relationship issues, low self-esteem, PTSD, childhood trauma, and aging.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach that adapts to the needs of the person. The approaches I utilize are CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy.

My communication style

I recognize that it takes time for the client to become comfortable, and I allow the client to take their time to become comfortable. I like to find out where they are in the process of change and what they would like to get out of the therapeutic process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started out working with people with developmental disabilities and found that seeing and hearing other clients' stories and finding a positive approach to change is possible, and when someone wants to make that change, it feels great to help them learn what can help them with the change that they wanted.

My goals for you

I like for the client to set their goals and discuss ways in which they can be achieved.

Our first session

I like to get some background information about them and let them tell me in their own words what has brought them here.
