Getting to know Louis Cianni
Louis is passionate about working with couples and uses an integrative approach, providing a safe, non-judgmental environment, understanding, and support to help address the complexities and challenges of relationships. He employs a holistic approach and incorporates the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy.
Louis holds a Master's in Social Work from New York University.
At this time, Louis is providing virtual/video counseling to his clients using HIPAA-compliant platforms.
He also specializes in helping people with eating and food issues, weight management, and treatment. Louis supports clients through the very challenging and difficult path of eating and weight loss therapy. His clients learn how to identify negative thinking patterns, handle irrational beliefs, and he coaches and guides them on ways to build new, sustainable behavioral and lifestyle changes. Louis teaches clients the tools and skills to help with maintenance, and his goal is to help overcome the emotional, personal, and physical obstacles that prevent them from achieving the happiness, health, and well-being they desire. Together, he works with clients step by step, at a healthy pace, on a plan and goals to meet their individual and unique needs.
People seek therapy for different reasons. Many of Louis's clients become more accepting and satisfied with themselves and their lives-not because of the weight loss, but through the therapy process. Louis partners with clients to achieve their goals and start them on the road to a more emotionally fulfilling life.

What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is humanistic and highly interactive—in other words, I do not sit back quietly. Instead, engage with my clients, constantly giving them active feedback and helping them develop skills. I believe establishing a non-judgmental environment and actively offering feedback and guidance is essential to the healing process. When working with couples I remain neutral and am always on the side of the relationship.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I prioritize creating a comfortable safe and nonjudgemental space for you to openly share your thoughts and feelings. I will share feedback about noticeable patterns with you, piecing together aspects of your life and story to help increase your self-awareness. I offer you tools and ways you could challenge your thought patterns. Over time, my goal is for you to better understand the root of distressing feelings and come to better understand yourself and make decisions to create a beautiful life.
