Dennies Libert, LCSW

Dennies Libert is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people untangle problems that block happiness. She focuses on clear steps people can take to feel steadier, manage mood, and handle stressful life changes.

She draws on 13 years of experience as a psychotherapist and uses straightforward tools rather than jargon. Sessions tend to be warm and down-to-earth; Dennies aims to make it easier for someone to open up and talk about painful or embarrassing topics.

Her work often addresses depression, grief, self-esteem, anger, and stress from life transitions. She also supports people coping with trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, mood concerns, and relationship conflicts. Practical coping skills and small behavioral changes are commonly part of her approach.

Dennies blends methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and build routines that reduce distress over time.

She received a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University and holds an LCSW in New York. Dennies has also worked with people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, blended family stress, and compassion fatigue. Her style is supportive while focusing on realistic next steps clients can try between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dennies uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice thoughts that increase worry or low mood and to practice different, more helpful responses. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety, and managing day-to-day habits that affect mood.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and client-centered methods that prioritize listening and building trust. These approaches help when someone struggles with relationship problems, abandonment concerns, or family stress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Dennies will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that match their needs and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so the plan fits what actually helps in daily life.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options offer quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
