About Giuseppe
Dr. Giuseppe Sottile uses a client-centered approach combined with practical techniques to help people manage anxiety and related concerns. He focuses on clear steps people can try between sessions and on making therapy feel approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.
He has 15 years of experience as a New York psychologist and helps people cope with stress, anxiety, and life changes. He also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, career shifts, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.
Background and approach
In sessions he emphasizes listening first, then working together to set small, achievable goals. He draws on cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, dialectical skills to manage strong emotions, and mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when people want clearer direction or help making difficult changes.
Dr. Sottile brings a multicultural perspective and attention to each person's background. He often helps with attachment or relationship patterns, communication problems, and challenges that come with caregiving, chronic illness, or major life transitions.
He also works with concerns such as body image, abandonment, and adoption or foster care history. Sessions are available in English and Italian and are offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. People new to therapy can expect straightforward guidance on steps to take and practical tools to use between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves attentive listening and helping people set their own goals, which can be useful for identity questions, relationship patterns, and self-esteem work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence behavior and moods, and uses concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and workplace stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Then he will recommend and adapt methods so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messages are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when you want ongoing written support between sessions. These options support a steady therapeutic rhythm around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
