Steven Sanfilippo offers therapy for people who sense that something is off in their life, whether they can name the cause or not. He works with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-doubt or low self-confidence, existential concerns, relationship problems, grief, addiction-related issues, and other challenges such as sleep disturbances, anger, and career difficulties.
With 11 years of clinical experience, Steven brings an adaptable, eclectic approach to treatment. He blends cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavior strategies with motivational interviewing, psychoanalytic ideas, and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. His aim is to meet clients where they are and collaborate on practical steps toward change.
Steven is a state-licensed mental health counselor in New York (licensed as an LMHC) and has worked with people from many cultural backgrounds and with varying abilities and disabilities. Spirituality can be incorporated into sessions when desired, and he is open to offering spiritual guidance or regular practice support if requested. He welcomes the chance to get to know prospective clients and to walk alongside them as they build the life they want.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That makes it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine or to continue care from different locations.
Therapy offered online is provided by licensed professionals, and if someone decides they want a different match, it is possible to switch therapists. For many people dealing with everyday mental health concerns, virtual therapy is a practical, effective option to consider.
