About Irina
Irina Voskoboynik is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, based in New York with 27 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and problems tied to immigration and isolation.
She uses practical, evidence-informed techniques in sessions. That can include strategies from cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal approaches, and elements drawn from psychodynamic and family therapy when relevant. Sessions may also involve teaching breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, and visualization to manage anxiety and panic.
When a detailed assessment is needed, she coordinates care with psychiatrists and other specialists to consider medical and social factors affecting a person. She often combines symptom-focused skills training with conversations about relationships and long-term patterns. This helps people reduce panic, manage moods, and improve sleep and daily functioning.
Irina offers spiritual psychotherapy as one of the options people sometimes choose alongside other methods. She also works on reducing destructive thoughts and replacing them with more balanced thinking through practical exercises. People looking to address attachment wounds or patterns of putting others first can expect focused, concrete tools along with discussion of relationship history.
Sessions are conducted in English from her New York practice. To begin, prospective clients follow the site steps to view online therapy options and schedule a first session after completing a short matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Irina commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. This approach is practical and skill-focused, and it can help with panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and depressive patterns.She also draws on interpersonal methods that look at how relationships and attachment affect mood and behavior. These conversations aim to clarify patterns such as people-pleasing or difficulty setting boundaries and to try different ways of relating that feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Irina treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, history, and daily life. She adapts technique and pace based on what helps most for the issues at hand.
