About Giuseppe

Dr. Giuseppe Sottile is a licensed psychologist (NY Psychologist 019523) who combines clear practical strategies with a respectful, client-centered attitude. He draws on 15 years of work to help people address stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career questions, addiction challenges, and parenting issues.

Sessions are offered in English and Italian and are held from his base in New York. He uses familiar, hands-on methods so people can start making changes quickly.

Background and approach

That includes tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, and techniques that build emotion regulation and coping skills. He also brings mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when clients want to set goals and stay on track. In sessions he listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps.

He aims for practical solutions that fit each person’s day-to-day life. Conversations cover things like relationships, grief, work stress, and recovering from past hurts. Dr.

Sottile has worked across many areas related to personal and social adjustment, including trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image. His background supports people facing both sudden changes and long-term pressures.

For parents and those focused on family and parenting matters, he offers straightforward guidance and coping strategies that relate to real family life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How practical therapies translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of him. It emphasizes respect, empathy, and tailoring sessions to what each person says they need, which helps guide decisions about goals and pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into manageable steps and homework that can be reviewed in later sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that many people find helpful when stress or anger feels overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily life to decide whether CBT, DBT, client-centered methods, or a mix is best. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make scheduling easier for busy lives. These formats allow regular check-ins, practice between sessions, and flexible ways to get support without added travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills training to each format so the work stays practical and usable.

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.
