Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the treatment of a wide array of mental health difficulties. People come to me with relationship problems, work issues, stress and other life challenges. In addition, I see individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma and other more serious disorders. I bring warmth, intelligence and an easy going manner to everyone I see. Reach out and let's see if I'm the right fit for you.
I’m Dr. Joe Yanni, a licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, adults, and families through life’s challenges. I began my career as a full-time school psychologist, a role I continue to hold, working with students with emotional disabilities in a specialized setting outside New York City. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, emotional regulation, and academic demands can intersect during key stages of development.
My work is grounded in trust, compassion, and a practical desire to help people move forward emotionally and in daily life. I use an integrative, research-informed approach that blends cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, humanistic care, person-centered therapy, and lifestyle-based strategies. Therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not clinical or scripted.
In private practice, I help clients better understand what is getting in the way, identify patterns that contribute to distress, and develop practical strategies for change. Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, school-related challenges, low confidence, emotional regulation, or life transitions, my goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care that supports clarity, coping, and meaningful progress.
I work best with clients who want therapy to feel thoughtful, active, and practical. My style is warm but direct, and I try to help clients connect insight with real-life change. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families in person in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, as well as virtually throughout New York State.

Common reasons people in the area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Providers on Headway include licensed therapists (LMHCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, psychologists) and psychiatrists, many of whom specialize in these and other areas.
