Felipe Sepulveda, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Felipe

Felipe Sepulveda is a licensed clinical social worker who offers practical, goal-focused therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He works from New York and draws on twelve years of clinical experience to help people feel steadier and more capable. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and usable coping tools for everyday pressures.

His style is straightforward and collaborative. He listens closely, then helps craft steps clients can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that add up over time. Felipe often supports people dealing with work stress, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, and trauma. He also addresses issues like sleeping problems, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas include blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and family of origin matters. In sessions he uses proven methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches are used to reduce unhelpful patterns and teach skills for emotional regulation and clearer decision making.

Felipe offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging formats to fit different schedules. He helps people work through career transitions, financial stress, and relationship strain with practical guidance and steady support.

Online approaches that focus on skills and values

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and meaning matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to shift patterns that increase distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This process is gradual and adjusts as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats allow for regular contact, flexible scheduling, and the ability to use skills in real time between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools for each format so clients get practical support wherever they are.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
