Teletherapy for New York

Hi there! If you are reading this, you are already taking important steps towards something different, perhaps better. It takes guts to seek therapy - so congratulations on getting this far! I am a licensed clinical social worker with 10+ years of experience having spent most of my early career working with families impacted by the child welfare system in New York City. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have worked closely in/with the Deaf community.

My name is Katarina Asbury. I am a therapist who is passionate about treating OCD and other anxiety disorders. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process meant to teach people how to manage, cope and return to feeling in control of their life as soon as possible. I have extensive experience in the application of Exposure Response Prevention and Habit Reversal Therapy. I utilize CBT in a creative and flexible way to meet the specific needs of each client and where they are in their journey.

I am a dedicated mental health practitioner with experience in treating individuals who have encountered a vast array of symptoms, extensive diagnoses and concerns related to complications of life. In practice, my objective is to provide clients with support and encouragement in a therapeutic environment while guiding individuals to foster personal growth. I am equipped to incorporate American Sign Language and other forms of nonverbal communication when it is deemed appropriate. I strive to offer an environment in which clients feel comfortable and confident in themselves and with the therapeutic services they receive.

I work with individuals who are seeking comfort and evidence based models to deal with their anxieties, life stressors, trauma, depression, family and relationship issues, and ADHD. I use empathetic listening, trauma informed and a strength based approach to help individuals meet the goals that they want to meet. These goals could be how to live each day and to learn how to prioritize themselves and their mental health. Being fluent in American Sign Language and being a CODA, I am familiar with the struggles that Deaf individuals face and the uniqueness of being raised in Deaf culture.

I enjoy working with individuals , families, and couples. I see individual clients with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are experiencing very normal and understandable reactions to painful life circumstances. The couples that I work with may be attempting to recover from affairs, considering divorce, or experiencing challenges in their relationship that they want to work through. I've worked with both gay and straight couples.as well as those who are married and single. The families that I see are dealing with issues related to child raising, divorce, illness or disability, and major life transitions.

Since graduating from New York University with an MSW degree, I have been working as a psychotherapist. My clinical approach combines cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and a strengths-based process to trigger goal-oriented actions. I am DBT informed and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have extensive experience with individual, family, couples, and group therapies. I am fluent in American Sign Language and have worked closely with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities. I see a mix of Deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clientele of all ages.

Over the past 24 years, I have worked with clients with a range of issues from depression and anxiety to stress and relationship changes. My clients describe me as approachable, down-to-earth and practical in my work with them. I enjoy the process of exploring what issues are causing distress and identifying together what needs to be done to resolve those issues or learn more effective ways of responding.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York, I like to bring a culturally and identity affirming, trauma informed lens to my work with clients. As a socially conscious Queer, Neurodivergent, Non-binary, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color), I take deliberate care to recognize, respect and celebrate all of the identities of my clients. By slowing down, we are able to find and care for the parts of ourselves that are often hidden, ignored, and might even be hurting the most.

Hello everyone, please welcome and allow me to first begin in thanking you. The choice to start therapy isn’t always easy, sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do is to even consider it, then admit you want/need it before even taking the steps to start, but you are not alone on this journey. Perhaps there has been times that you have found yourself feeling stressed, down, lacking confidence, or stuck in a pattern that no longer serves you.
