Mia Dessesaure, LCSW

Mia Dessesaure is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with seven years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems, money and financial worries, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

Mia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She treats therapy as a place to talk through immediate problems and figure out small, doable steps. She centers clients' own knowledge about their lives and uses that as the basis for planning change. Conversations include looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing new ways of communicating, and trying strategies to reduce day-to-day stress.

Her approach is collaborative. Mia listens for patterns that affect mood and relationships, and then tests approaches that can help shift those patterns. She pays attention to how money, work, and family roles contribute to pressure and distress. Sessions often include problem-solving, skills practice, and checking which strategies actually help between meetings.

Mia has experience supporting people through the fallout of trauma and abuse, and she works at a steady pace that many people find manageable. She helps clients handle panic and severe anxiety with stepwise techniques and planning. For pregnancy and postpartum concerns she focuses on practical coping and adjustment.

People who want clear, goal-focused conversations about real-life stressors may find her style useful. She asks clients to try small changes, then reviews what works. To begin, clients follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
