About Giuseppe

Dr. Giuseppe Sottile is a licensed psychologist practicing in New York. He uses approachable, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and the everyday challenges that follow major life changes. He speaks English and Italian and draws on 15 years of clinical experience to guide conversations and set achievable goals.

He often helps people who are dealing with self-esteem struggles, career transitions, and difficulties in social or workplace settings. His work also addresses grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship communication problems. He frames sessions around the person in front of him rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Dr. Sottile blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies. That means sessions alternate between talking through personal experiences, practicing skills that change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and learning ways to be more present and calm in daily life. Motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behavior ideas are used when people want support with change and emotional regulation.

He brings a multicultural and inclusive perspective to clinical work and pays attention to identity-related concerns, including LGBT issues and attachment or identity exploration. He also has experience addressing autism and Asperger Syndrome-related challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and topics such as body image or kink-positive issues.

Dr. Sottile’s aim is to create a respectful space where people can name what matters, try practical coping steps, and build a plan they can use outside sessions. Policies on scheduling and session options are confirmed during the initial match process.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online work

Dr. Sottile uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters to the person in front of him, listening carefully and shaping sessions around each person’s goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase day-to-day calm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will work with the client to pick and adapt techniques based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean more skills practice one week and more reflective conversation the next. The plan changes as progress and challenges appear.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills where they live and return to exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can help tailor rhythm and tasks so therapy fits daily routines rather than adding strain.
