About Giuseppe
Dr. Giuseppe Sottile uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress and life transitions. He is a licensed psychologist who draws on straightforward talk, problem-solving, and skill practice to address anxiety, self-esteem, workplace strain, and identity questions. He writes and speaks in plain language and aims to make sessions useful from the first meeting.
Over 15 years of practice in New York have given him experience with a wide range of concerns. He helps people who face panic, attachment difficulties, grief, addictions, and coping with change. He also supports those navigating adoption and foster care related issues as part of broader life challenges.
Therapy sessions mix client-centered listening with hands-on techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness tools are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Dr. Sottile brings a multicultural perspective to sessions and speaks English and Italian. He aims to help people build clearer communication, stronger coping routines, and steady progress toward goals. He balances practical coaching for career and life decisions with deeper work on trauma and attachment.
People considering therapy are encouraged to think about goals before the first meeting. Dr. Sottile focuses on short- and longer-term plans depending on what someone wants to address and how they prefer to move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to identify goals and strengths. In practice this means the therapist checks in on what matters most to the person and adapts sessions to their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems at work because it pairs clear goals with homework and skill practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These tools are often helpful when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options, try techniques, and adjust based on what works and what the client prefers. Clients help set goals and decide the pace of change.
If you are considering online options, confirm current session formats before booking. The main practical benefit is flexibility - therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and travel. Some formats make shorter check-ins easier, while others better support longer skill practice or exercises that use video. Ask about the available ways to meet when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
