Getting to know Filomena DiFranco

My name is Filomena DiFranco, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Psychotherapist offering virtual therapy for adults throughout New York. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, stress, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I create space for you to feel heard, explore what’s been weighing on you, and better understand patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed techniques, tailoring our work to your needs and goals. Together, we can work on practical coping skills, healthier boundaries, and ways to navigate challenges with greater confidence. Whether you’re starting therapy for the first time or returning for additional support, we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable while working toward meaningful change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly where to begin, we’ll work together to understand what brings you to therapy and what you hope to change. I balance space to talk openly with practical tools you can use between sessions. Drawing from CBT and DBT-informed techniques, I tailor our work to your needs, helping you explore patterns, manage emotions, and build healthier coping and communication skills.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll begin by discussing what brings you to therapy and your goals. In ongoing sessions, we’ll check in, explore current challenges, and work on practical coping skills. We’ll regularly review your progress and adjust our approach to fit your needs.
