About Vince

Vince Brancaccio is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 15 years of professional experience. He works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency. Sessions in his practice focus on practical steps rather than long theory talks.

Before moving into his current practice he gained experience across mental health and addiction settings and taught at the college level. That background informs how he blends counseling and coaching to help people get unstuck and make measurable changes.

In sessions he uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to build new behaviors that lead to different results. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to strengthen motivation when progress stalls.

Vince helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around someone else's drinking and crises by focusing on communication, boundaries, and clearer goals. He also works with issues such as grief, anger, burnout, career transitions, and parenting concerns.

His approach is direct and goal-oriented. Expect conversations that move from understanding problems to practicing new skills. He combines elements of coaching with clinical methods to support steps toward clearer priorities and healthier patterns.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Vince uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and to practice different behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns like people-pleasing by breaking problems into manageable steps.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to draw out a person’s own reasons for change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck, ambivalent, or unsure how to move forward with goals such as reducing substance use or setting firmer boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they choose which methods to focus on. This is a collaborative process that may shift as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with him about what will best fit daily life and scheduling priorities.
