About Anastasia

Anastasia Przybyla is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad set of emotional challenges. She uses everyday language and practical steps to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and relationship strain. Anastasia emphasizes building self-compassion and clearer communication so people can navigate difficult moments more easily.

She draws on five years of clinical experience and a mix of evidence-informed tools to tailor support to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions often center on identifying small, doable changes that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. Anastasia pays attention to attachment patterns, abandonment issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse when those are part of a person’s story. The practice also addresses concerns such as parenting challenges, body image, eating concerns, ADHD, and chronic illness.

She works with clients on problem solving and coping skills, and on repairing or strengthening relationships when that is helpful. Conversations aim to be clear, respectful, and goal-focused. Anastasia is credentialed as an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Her location is New York and she combines clinical methods with a collaborative, down-to-earth style. People who want a straightforward, empathetic clinician will find a practical approach that focuses on everyday changes and emotional recovery.

The overall goal is steady progress and clearer direction, not quick fixes.

How Anastasia’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel understood before making changes. It helps when someone needs acceptance and a nonjudgmental space to talk about parenting stress or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then looks for small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life transitions because it emphasizes concrete steps and skill practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anastasia collaborates with each person to try methods that match their goals, needs, and how they prefer to work. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps most and what feels doable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare, and other commitments. The mix of synchronous and asynchronous options also allows for quick check-ins or longer conversations when they are needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
