Getting to know Joy Svenson

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) working with clients via telehealth throughout New York. I work with teenagers and adults, individuals, couples, and families, specializing in Anxiety, Depression, Life Changes, and Relationship difficulties. I use behavioral interventions, therapies of paradox, and solution-focused supportive processing to help clients progress toward their goals. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from the State University of New York, Plattsburgh, which provided a strong foundation for my clinical work. My approach My therapeutic orientation is influenced by each client's needs. I frequently use a combination of cognitive processing therapy, behavioral therapy, and mindfulness strategies. These modalities help develop an understanding of their current story, perceptions of needs and desires for change, and determine the most productive way toward a new story of self, life, and relationship. My focus My approach is most helpful for teenagers, adults, and couples committed to change but struggling to break old patterns, define a new path, and embrace the discomfort of change. Anxiety, Depression, and Relational Stress often indicate the need to change parts of ourselves and/or our environment. I help clients understand themselves more clearly and build the skills and courage to attend to their changes. My communication style My communication style is active, compassionate, and encouraging. Clients feel comfortable discussing everything, knowing their victories will be celebrated and their intimacies regarded with respectful care. My journey to therapy I became a therapist to understand the human condition and the desire for community, purpose, and meaning. I've always engaged with curiosity toward others and have an inclination toward personal growth, which has been helpful throughout my career. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
