About Adam
Adam Turkel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, and mood disorders. He also supports those facing parenting strains, career challenges, addiction issues, money worries, and life transitions including coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Adam draws on 22 years of experience in clinical settings to offer practical help for everyday problems.
He takes a person-centered approach that focuses on the individual and their goals. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. He listens first, helps people name what matters, and then works with them to make changes that fit their life.
Adam uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques teach ways to stay grounded in the present moment. Motivational Interviewing supports people making difficult changes, such as addressing substance use or shifting habits.
He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and client-centered work to keep the person’s priorities front and center. Adam has experience with serious mood disorders and addiction from many years at a community hospital, and he offers both short-term and longer-term therapy depending on each person’s needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s needs and goals first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s lead to set priorities and next steps. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting out what matters most and deciding on practical changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, depression, sleep problems, and some relationship concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus on the present moment. These short exercises can help with stress, racing thoughts, and grounding during difficult situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.
