About Adam
Adam Chaiken is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with more than 30 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, parenting concerns, and depression. He also works with communication problems, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, loneliness, jealousy, life purpose questions, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, paranoia, phobias, and social anxiety.
Adam prefers a direct and practical approach. Sessions are focused on clear goals and everyday problems. He helps people identify their strengths and use those strengths to manage current struggles. Conversations are straightforward and aim to address the next concrete step a person can try.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He will help people notice what triggers stress and what reduces it. Together they plan strategies that suit daily life, such as communication changes, short coping practices, or steps for handling difficult conversations. Progress is tracked in plain terms so people can see what helps.
He brings long experience to questions about relationships and parenting. That experience includes working with grief and end-of-life concerns as well as separation and divorce issues. He also offers support for anxiety-related difficulties like panic, phobias, and obsessive thinking.
People who choose Adam usually want practical tools and concrete steps. He encourages small experiments between sessions and regular check-ins about what is working. To begin, readers can review his online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches look at patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and teach practical ways to test and shift those patterns. These methods are useful for panic, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and persistent worry.Behavioral strategies focus on changing what people do day to day. This can include small exposure steps for phobias or panic, and concrete communication practices for relationship and family problems. These steps are short, measurable, and aimed at improving daily functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify priorities, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist review progress together and decide on next steps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Before booking, check which session formats are offered so you can pick the option that best fits your routine and needs.
