Getting to know Christopher Piccininni

Hi there, I'm Christopher! My name is Christopher Piccininni, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Long Island, New York, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master?s in Social Work from Stony Brook University. I have experience working with adolescents and adults of all ages with various diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, schizophrenia, and impulse control disorders. I use various approaches to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together toward progress. I am open to utilizing different approaches based on the needs of each individual I work with. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adolescents, teens, and adults of all ages who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. I work to help clients gain a better understanding of their lives so they can achieve their goals and live more positively. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare As a kid, I always wanted to help people, and as an adult, I discovered social work was a great way to do just that. For 20 years, I focused on working with children and adolescents, but for the last 10 years, I have worked mainly with adults in state clinics, so I have experience working with all ages. My goals for you My hope is always to set goals with my clients, not for them. This includes helping them feel as comfortable as possible to build a trusting relationship. Throughout treatment, clients are encouraged to explore goals and modify them as necessary.
