Myrna Diptee

Myrna Diptee is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 23 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and life changes. She also addresses issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.

Myrna keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens to what feels most pressing and uses evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and make clearer decisions. Conversations move between immediate coping skills and longer-term planning for work and personal life.

Her approach pays attention to cultural background and to how past relationships affect current choices. She helps clients who struggle with isolation, social anxiety, commitment doubts, or the aftermath of trauma find clearer ways to cope. Seasonal mood shifts and caregiver burnout are also part of her experience.

Myrna adapts the pace and focus of sessions when people are facing big transitions, like career changes or midlife questions. She works with practical steps such as breaking down goals, practicing new habits, and rehearsing conversations that feel difficult. The goal is steady progress rather than overnight fixes.

To begin, she asks about current stressors, support systems, and what a useful next step would look like. Conversations are collaborative and focused on actions that fit the client’s life and responsibilities.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Many clinicians combine evidence-based techniques to address stress, anxiety, grief, and life-direction questions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits and are useful for anxiety, low mood, and social worries. Skills-based coping work teaches practical steps for managing overwhelm, improving sleep, and handling caregiver strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review what has helped you before, try approaches that fit your goals, and adjust methods together based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching strategies to your needs and day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or appointments that do not require camera use if that helps someone engage. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
