Melissa Millian KatzClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and online therapist providing virtual therapy to adults, teens, and families across New York. I help people navigate anxiety, parenting stress, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions. With lived experience as a caregiver, parent, and cancer survivor, I bring grounded, steady care to each session. Clients often tell me they feel safe, understood, and deeply heard, sometimes for the first time. Therapy with me feels calm, connected, and truly supportive. I am dedicated to helping you improve your self-worth, strengthen your emotional regulation, and cultivate a greater sense of joy. We focus on what matters most to you, uncover what's beneath the surface, and build new ways of coping. Our work together is relational, human, and flexible. My approach blends DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic tools, but it's the trust between us that makes therapy work. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly to begin.
