Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • West Babylon, NY


I’ve been helping people for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I’m so proud of you for taking this important step toward caring for yourself. It’s not always easy, and it shows strength and courage.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, addressing a wide range of challenges. My experience includes school settings, college multicultural affairs, outpatient drug and alcohol treatment, and mental health counseling.

I also spent nine years in a hospital setting, working in psychiatric emergency services and on adolescent and adult inpatient units. This gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention and in supporting people through both mild and severe mental health concerns. Today, I continue to work in outpatient mental health, helping clients navigate life’s challenges and build resilience.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we’ll work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I look forward to working with you.

Dr. Joseph Yanni

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Scarsdale, NY


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Valley Stream

Finding the right therapist in Valley Stream starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Therapists in this area specialize in a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and family conflict. Some focus on specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while others work with particular age groups or communities. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match.

Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Valley Stream or a nearby community like Lynbrook, Hewlett, or Elmont — or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. Many licensed providers in New York offer both options. Confirming that a provider is accepting new patients and that their availability works with yours can save time early in the process.

Therapy in the greater New York City metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Valley Stream who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
