Mindy Haber, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Mindy

Mindy Haber is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship difficulties. She brings two decades of practice in New York to sessions. Her approach aims to help people manage life changes, work stresses, and painful losses in clear, practical ways.

In a typical meeting she listens first, then helps identify small steps that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

She uses straightforward techniques to address communication problems, commitment concerns, and workplace issues. Therapy also covers blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and infidelity in ways that focus on next steps rather than labels. Mindy draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center each person’s experience.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that links thoughts, feelings, and actions to change unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term goals and build on what already works. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, and practical skills are emphasized.

Topics such as abandonment, money worries, social anxiety, life purpose, and women’s issues are included when relevant. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes. Therapy is offered through several online formats to fit different schedules.

Mindy aims to create a calm, focused space where people can talk through problems and practice new ways of coping.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to each person and following their lead. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk about family life, grief, or personal goals and wants guidance that honors their experience.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and then teaches ways to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, workplace stress, and for reducing avoidance or negative thinking.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on short-term goals and small changes that can make a big difference. It is practical for people who want to identify next steps and build on strengths during transitions like separation or blended family adjustments.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist uses the session to learn about goals, habits, and preferences, and then suggests which methods to try. Clients are invited to give feedback and adjust the plan so it feels right for them.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy family schedules and work demands. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into life, practice skills between meetings, and keep momentum when dealing with stress, relationship concerns, or major life changes.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
