Joseph Iannatto, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Joseph!

I help clients navigate anxiety, self-doubt, and life changes with curiosity and compassion. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected—to yourself and the life you want to create.

My focus

Joseph Iannotto specializes in the areas of depression, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related topics, OCD, ADHD, and survivors of trauma. Joseph utilizes CBT/DBT methods and has a client-centered approach while incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques and adapting treatment to meet each individual's needs.

My approach

I have experience using CBT and DBT in treating my patients based on their clinical needs. In addition, I have Gottman training and work with couples in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships.

My communication style

I am going to meet you where you are at. I do have a direct approach, but it is handled with kindness and respect. In addition, I find myself to be a great listener and provide feedback with empathy and validation.

My journey to mental healthcare

I got my start in mental health as a case worker. My director of social work was my mentor and pushed me to go back to school to become a social worker. From there, I made numerous connections with my professors who saw the clinical potential in me and gave me a chance to practice under them once I obtained my license.

My goals for you

My goal is to assist my patients in achieving their goals. If I am not the right fit, I assist all of my patients with finding the right fit for them. The therapeutic relationship is one in which therapist and client align to achieve goals.

Our first session

I want my patients to feel comfortable and understand that not everything needs to be discussed in the first session. We will build a relationship over time and ease into topics at your pace.
