Richard Leone

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello, my name is Richard Leone, LCSW, but please feel free to call me Rick. I provide therapy services to individuals throughout New York. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Nazareth University and utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions to help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health challenges. I also have experience helping individuals navigate relationship stressors, breakups, and the emotional difficulties that often accompany major life transitions. Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent three years working as an Intake Coordinator for a local hospital, which provided me with valuable experience in mental health assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges, building coping skills, and working toward meaningful change. I genuinely love what I do and look forward to meeting and helping each and every client I have the privilege of working with.

Alice Garfinkel

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Mr. Christopher Lambert

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Sometimes it can be helpful to talk through issues with someone giving you their undivided attention. It can also be helpful to explore other forms of creative expression when talking isn't enough. I offer these avenues for growth to my clients. Clients I work with often discuss relationship issues, stress related to school or work, feelings of depression and anxiety, and substance abuse and addiction issues.


I have over 7 years of experience working with adolescents, most of whom have experienced childhood trauma. I also have over a decade of experience working with people in the alcoholism and addiction recovery community. Other specialties include men's issues, 12 step recovery, relationship issues, work/life stress, anxiety, and depression.


Change in the world has been constant lately. It can be hard to take a moment and focus on how things can improve in your life. Reaching out for help can be a life-changing first step.

I cannot move mountains for you, but I can help you climb. Facing fears, healing from loss, finding meaning and joy - these are the inevitable tasks of life. Therapy may be your first step or your last resort. Often people avoid it all together because they believe their pain is too great, worry they will be judged or that their situation is too complicated. Some people believe they should solve problems on their own or only with family and friends. However, while family and friends may want the best for us, they often come with opinions or past hurts. Sometimes it helps to have a safe space outside your daily experience.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
