Cecilia Ferreira, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NJ
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a supportive space where you can better understand your emotions, build coping tools, and feel more in control of your life. My approach I use CBT and DBT strategies while also helping you connect past experiences to present patterns. My style is collaborative and compassionate—I’ll listen closely, offer feedback, and adapt our sessions to meet your needs. My focus I work with clients who want to better understand their emotions, reactions, and patterns of thinking. Many are navigating anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of past experiences. I help clients build practical coping skills using CBT and DBT while exploring how past experiences shape their present, so they can gain insight, feel more in control, and approach life with greater self-compassion. My communication style I take a warm, collaborative approach, listening closely and offering feedback with compassion. I communicate openly and clearly, checking in often to make sure our work aligns with your needs and goals. Sessions are supportive and judgment-free, giving you space to share at your own pace while we work together toward meaningful change. My journey to mental healthcare I began my education with a Bachelor’s in Health Administration but realized I wanted to make a direct impact on people’s lives. I went back to graduate school for social work to become a therapy provider because skills like identifying and naming emotions were rarely taught in schools—skills that could have helped me and so many others. I love supporting clients in understanding themselves, building self-confidence, and exploring how past experiences shape present patterns. My goals for you I work collaboratively with clients to set clear, meaningful goals that reflect what they want to achieve in therapy. Together, we break goals into manageable steps, track progress, and adapt our approach as needed.
