Vincent Primiano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood changes, and codependency. He brings a practical, down-to-earth approach and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful for everyday life.
He has ten years of post-graduate social work experience and holds an LCSW.

In sessions he focuses on concrete skills and clear goals. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on acceptance and commitment techniques and mindfulness to help people notice their values and take small steps toward them.
Vincent often helps people who are coping with grief, family of origin issues, relationship struggles, parenting stress, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people facing trauma, bipolar disorder, and substance use challenges, including drug and alcohol addiction.
He works with people across a range of life changes and stresses, including career shifts, divorce and separation, abandonment and attachment issues, and body image concerns. Sessions are offered in English in New York, and he uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values, often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way, then practicing new responses to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try a few techniques, and adapt methods based on what feels most helpful. Progress often comes from combining skills work with moments of reflection to see what changes stick.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be part of normal routines. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current online or in-person options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to check in between work or family responsibilities and to maintain continuity during life changes.
