Lori Centineo

Lori Centineo is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She earned her Master of Social Work degree at The University of Albany and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Before becoming a social worker, she worked as an elementary school teacher and later returned to graduate study to pursue a more direct path helping others.

She has provided outpatient therapy for adults, children, families and couples, addressing concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, family dynamics, trauma and life transitions. Her practice also includes work with parenting challenges, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue and coping with major life changes.

Centineo practices with a warm, friendly and empathetic manner that helps clients feel accepted and safe, creating the conditions for a productive therapeutic relationship. She views therapy as a collaborative process in which the client guides the work, since each person is the expert on their own life.

She is skilled in a range of evidence-based approaches, including Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Mindfulness practices and Emotion Focused Therapy, and she tailors her methods to fit each client’s needs, strengths and personality. She welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients as they begin their therapeutic journey.
