Barbara Segreto is a licensed clinical social worker in New York (NY LCSW-R 039055) with 38 years of professional experience. She earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and brings long-standing clinical training to her practice.
She has focused training to support adults coping with a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, panic disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Tourette’s Syndrome, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
Her clinical career includes extensive work in inpatient, emergency, and outpatient treatment settings for adults.

In addition to more than two decades in private practice, she maintains sub-specialties in geriatrics and eating disorders. She emphasizes respectful, individualized care - each treatment plan is formulated to address a client’s particular situation.
She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy takes courage and is glad prospective clients have begun that process. She looks forward to meeting and working with new clients.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide online therapy, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people, remote sessions offer a practical and effective path to addressing everyday mental health concerns.
