Anastasia Przybyla, LMHC

Anastasia Przybyla is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to identity and relationships. She works with folks facing trauma, parenting strain, ADHD, eating concerns, and major life changes. Anastasia focuses on practical steps that fit daily life and emotional needs.

She keeps sessions straightforward and warm. Conversations aim to build self-compassion, clearer communication, and stronger coping skills. Clients can expect to set small goals and try tools between meetings to track progress.

Anastasia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, emotional regulation, and relationship patterns. She also draws on motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused work when someone needs help clarifying goals or processing attachment wounds.

Her practice pays special attention to identity-related stress and the effects of past abuse or loss. She helps people explore attachment and abandonment concerns, navigate separation or divorce, and manage the emotional impact of chronic illness or disability. Body image, kink-aware topics, and adoption-related questions are also part of her experience.

With five years of clinical work, Anastasia pairs evidence-informed approaches with a collaborative style. She guides people through concrete strategies while honoring their values and pace. Sessions can be scheduled to fit a busy life and varied communication preferences.

Approaches that guide online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete tools to test thoughts and try new actions.

Client-centered therapy centers the person in the room and emphasizes empathy and respect. This approach supports self-compassion and clearer personal goals by making space for a person's own pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, client-centered techniques, DBT skills, or a blend fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and relationship-focused sessions. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging help with quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing skill practice between scheduled meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
