About Narcisa
Narcisa Sierra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction-related concerns. She also supports people managing relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, bipolar and ADHD related challenges.
Narcisa uses a mix of approaches that suit what each person brings to a session. She draws on mindfulness practices to help calm the body and refocus attention. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events affect daily life.
In sessions she helps people notice how they react under stress. That might look like exploring avoidant behavior, leaning into people-pleasing, or struggles with boundaries and codependency. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer choices rather than quick fixes.
She also works with addiction concerns, including drug and alcohol addiction and related coping strategies. For sexual assault, post-traumatic stress, dissociation and avoidance, she integrates trauma-focused care and Internal Family Systems ideas to map how different parts of the self respond.
Narcisa supports people who are navigating career pressures, parenting demands, grief, or major life changes. Sessions can include breath-based exercises, reflection on relationship patterns, and planning steps that fit daily routines.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce immediate stress and bring more control to anxious moments. It is useful for people who feel overwhelmed, have trouble sleeping, or want tools to steady their reactions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated relationship and behavior patterns. It helps people understand why they fall into people-pleasing, avoidance, or recurring conflicts and makes space to try different responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to match methods to their goals and comfort level. That means trying concrete practices like breath work, and also discussing deeper patterns when that feels helpful.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and can let people join from a quieter location. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises so they work over video or phone, and they discuss how to practice skills between sessions to make progress outside appointment times.
