Sasha Thomson, LCSW

Sasha Thomson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Sasha uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help clients manage symptoms and move through difficult moments.

Her work relies on clear, evidence-based techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy strategies to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs help finding the motivation to change behaviors related to addiction or other habits.

Sasha describes herself as a steady, nonjudgmental listener who focuses on achievable steps. Sessions tend to focus on concrete skills - for example, ways to respond to panic, strategies to reduce social anxiety, or small behavior changes that reduce isolation. She also helps people process traumatic experiences at a pace they can manage.

She has seen many people set and reach goals across mental health and life transitions. Sasha favors short-term practical work when appropriate, and longer-term support when needed. Her aim is to help clients feel more able to handle daily pressures, whether those come from work, family, or health concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and are intended for people based in New York. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking. To start, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
