About Camille

Camille Yuscak is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, caregiving strain, and major life changes. She works with concerns related to relationships, intimacy, self-esteem, career shifts, and challenges tied to aging, chronic illness, cancer, and end-of-life care. Camille brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice in New York and offers a calm, straightforward presence.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions are a conversation where the therapist listens closely and responds with practical tools.

Background and approach

She uses clear techniques rather than jargon so people can try things between visits. Camille blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral strategies and solution-focused ideas. That means she starts by understanding the person first, then helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and works toward small, manageable steps to change things that matter most.

People dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, or grief often need both emotional support and concrete coping strategies. Camille draws on experience with hospice, geriatric concerns, and long-term health issues to offer both. Her approach aims to help people adjust to a changed life and find ways to feel more able to handle daily demands.

Camille holds an LCSW and has practiced for 20 years. She offers sessions in English for adults in New York and provides multiple online formats to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience first. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters most, and helps you name your goals so sessions feel relevant to your life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that make stress or anxiety worse. It includes practical exercises and small homework tasks to try between sessions, which can be done after a video call or in between messages.

Mindfulness-based ideas teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve how you cope with pain, grief, or caregiver fatigue. These techniques are brief and adaptable to phone or text check-ins.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs and preferences, try methods that make sense for the situation, and adjust the plan over time. You and the therapist decide together what works best.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions around medical appointments, caregiving duties, or work. Many people find the mix of scheduled calls and brief messages helpful for steady progress and timely support between longer sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
