Simona Ostrow is a licensed mental health therapist based in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, career concerns, and the challenges of navigating life changes.
She also has experience supporting individuals with learning differences and neurodevelopmental conditions, including ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, as well as those managing developmental or physical disabilities alongside personal and vocational difficulties. Simona approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and brings strengths that can be used to meet life’s challenges.
Her style is professional yet approachable, and she encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy. Simona holds a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential (NY LMHC 002190).
Please note that she generally checks messages here a few times per day, Monday through Thursday, and replies as promptly as possible. At times responses may take a bit longer while she is attending to other clients or professional and personal responsibilities.
Many people ask whether therapy delivered online can really help. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or transitions in life - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for many individuals.
One clear advantage is the flexibility it provides. People can connect in the format that best fits their needs and schedule - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
These services are provided by licensed professionals and therapists, and if someone decides they want a different fit they can switch to another therapist at any time.
