Getting to know James D'Aconti
People tell me I am easy to talk to. That comes in handy when you're a psychotherapist. One of the most important things to me is that my client feels comfortable. Just as a flower cannot grow without soil, water or sunlight, I believe a person cannot grow in therapy if they do not feel comfortable and connected with their therapist.
I have worked as a psychotherapist on Long Island since 2014. Most of my work has been in outpatient mental health clinics and university counseling centers. In 2019, I started my own private psychotherapy practice. My therapeutic approach is mindfulness informed, and is also psycho-dynamic and cognitive behavioral in nature. I also teach mindfulness meditation. I earned my qualification as a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher through the University of Massachusetts. I teach MBSR at schools and corporations around Long Island, as well as privately at my Meditation Center, The Mindful Place.
I believe you have the capacity to change the way you live your life. You can learn to live in a more liberated way. You can learn to navigate difficult emotions such as anxiety or depression. You can learn to build more meaningful relationships or communicate more effectively. You can experience more acceptance and gratitude. I believe we can change and grow every day if we are open to it. My hope is that I can help you learn to live in a new way, if that is your goal. Maybe your goal is to reduce depression, stress or anxiety. Maybe your goal is to create more meaningful relationships, be more confident or be happy. Your goal is my goal.

James has been a lifeline for me while I have been in college out of state. I always feel like I am in a safe space free to discuss what I want without judgement. I cherish my time with him and I feel his other clients will too.

I’ve been working with James for over a year now, and he is always very attentive and gives great feedback. He provides a safe space to be open and honest and is great with talking things through. He has helped me find and practice techniques to calm my anxiety and panic attacks, and that has helped me in everyday life. He never pushes any topics that I’m uncomfortable with, but also knows when a something should be addressed. I’ve been able to discover a lot about myself mentally, and that’s something I’m very thankful for.

James is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He’s the most comforting, flexible, and available therapist I’ve had, and is just a pleasure to be around. His ability to be connected to through email and text lets me talk to him whenever I need to, and he always answers.
James is very patient as well; I’ve had issues with following his recommendations, and he never hesitated to offer me alternative solutions and show confidence in me. I’m so happy to be his client, and I don’t know what I’d do without him.

My visit with this professional was excellent. He really listens and manages to keep up with how I communicate things, managing to catch the things I say that may not be important to me when I say them, but end up being vital to my growth and healing. I like how adamant he is about the sessions he has with each his clients: no interruptions, and setting up an environment that best suits the relationship between him and his client at the time. I recommend this professional, especially to those who are first timers to therapy.
