About Vincent
Vincent Primiano offers straightforward support for people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life changes. He is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. Vincent speaks English and practices from New York.
He focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. That might mean learning ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, building routines that aid sleep and mood, or finding steadier ways to manage cravings and urges. He also helps people who are facing grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or the aftereffects of trauma.
Vincent's background includes work in outpatient clinics, inpatient addiction programs, and psychiatric hospitals. He has worked under New York State OASAS in the addiction field and under OMH in mental health settings. His experience also includes work in the prison system and as part of an Assertive Community Treatment team.
In sessions he draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and depression. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourage noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance tools.
People looking for help after a natural or human-caused disaster can discuss coping strategies and next steps. To begin, visitors can use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood; it is often used for stress, sleeping problems, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to calm the mind and reduce reactivity, which can support emotion regulation and relapse prevention.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vincent will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for a few sessions, adding mindfulness practices, and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. For some people this means keeping momentum after a disruptive event or maintaining treatment alongside work and family responsibilities. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to how each person prefers to work.
