About Barry
Barry Wasser is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New York and New Jersey with eight years of experience. He works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, and changes in life roles.
Barry approaches sessions in a straightforward way. He listens to what is happening now, and then helps people try practical steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when those fit the person's goals.
His background includes work in a mental health homeless shelter and a transitional residence for adults with serious mental illness. He has also led group therapy and provided mental health case management, experience that shaped his focus on how social and practical factors affect recovery.
Sessions emphasize clear communication, problem-solving, and building skills people can use between meetings. Barry pays attention to family dynamics and issues like fatherhood, caregiving for older adults, and workplace stress when those affect mental health.
People who meet with him can expect a direct, supportive working relationship. He aims to help clients set short-term steps and longer-term goals, and to adjust the methods used as progress is made.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep difficulties, and managing reactions to stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating emotion, handling crisis moments, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for strong emotional reactions and relationship struggles. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Barry will collaborate with clients to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time as progress and circumstances change. The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. Some formats may also be better for brief check-ins or phone conversations when a shorter option is needed.CAreas of focus
