Adam Turkel

Adam Turkel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) with 22 years of experience based in New York. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, sleep problems, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and questions about life purpose and career. Adam also supports people managing major life changes and caregiving demands.

He draws on a client-centered stance and practical methods to help people name their priorities and set concrete goals. Sessions focus on clear problem-solving, building coping strategies, and improving everyday routines like sleep and communication. Adam combines short-term work and longer-term therapy depending on what someone needs.

His background includes two decades at a large community hospital where he worked with diverse populations, including people with mood disorders and those in chemical dependency treatment. That experience informs his approach to complex cases and to practical barriers people face when making changes.

In session he aims to assess needs quickly and offer straightforward recommendations. That might mean working on mood management skills, exploring relationship patterns, or using specific behavioral steps to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. He also brings discussion of career and life purpose into therapy when those issues are the main concern.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect a mix of evidence-based techniques and reflective conversation. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up a first session.

How Adam Uses Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the individual. In practice that means the therapist listens to each person's priorities, reflects what they say, and helps them set goals that feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, mood issues, sleep, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adam will discuss methods with the client and agree on what to try first. He treats this as a collaborative decision based on needs, goals, and how someone responds in early sessions.

The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and cutting down travel time.
