Catherine Kunin, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Catherine

Catherine Kunin is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She practices in New York and brings steady, practical support to conversations about relationships, self esteem, and coping with change. Her style is straightforward and focused on what a worried parent needs now.

Clients can expect clear guidance on everyday problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, and workplace stress.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues that often overlap with family life - communication problems, control struggles, and young adult concerns. Catherine listens, helps sort priorities, and works with each person to set usable goals. Her background includes work across settings with clients of many ages.

That range informs how she tailors approaches for concerns such as chronic pain or changes that come with aging. She frames the work in simple steps so progress feels manageable. Sessions can cover practical skills for managing anxiety, ways to reduce conflict at home, or strategies to rebuild confidence after big life shifts.

Catherine draws on evidence-based techniques to create clear plans suited to each situation. Overall she aims to make therapy accessible and relevant for busy families. The focus is on small, concrete changes that improve daily life and ease common parenting and relationship stresses.

Evidence-based techniques delivered online for family life

Two evidence-based approaches she uses are cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based problem solving. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and teach practical tools to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Skills-based problem solving breaks larger family or parenting issues into small steps and builds habits that make daily life easier.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will work with clients to identify goals and try methods that fit the family’s needs and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy families. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving. The range of options helps people stay consistent with sessions and practice skills between meetings.
