About Vincent
Vincent Primiano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with ten years of post-graduate experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, and relationship and family issues. He also addresses codependency, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges.
He has worked across a range of settings including outpatient clinics and inpatient programs for addiction and psychiatric care. He has experience in the prison system and on an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team. That background informs a practical approach to common life disruptions and crisis-related needs.
In sessions he draws from several evidence-informed methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose actions that reflect their values. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thinking and behavior cycles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are also part of his work for emotion regulation and present-focused coping.
Vincent spent time working under New York State OASAS on addiction services and under OMH in mental health settings. That mix means he often helps people balancing recovery, mood management, and everyday responsibilities. He aims for clear, step-by-step conversations rather than jargon.
He offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that matter to them. It is often useful for codependency patterns, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different ways of responding, which can help with depression, anxiety, sleep, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques that are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or reactive.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try, based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a few weeks, then adding ACT or DBT skills if they fit better.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or using phone-only sessions when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to remote sessions so therapy fits day-to-day routines.
