About Yana
Yana Gaykov is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues like grief, trauma, addiction, and challenges with intimacy and self-esteem.
She frames clients as the experts of their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are practical and focused on what people want to change. Conversations tend to identify manageable steps and ways to handle day-to-day pressures at work, home, and in relationships.
Gaykov has worked across many common life stressors. She helps people coping with career strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the effects of trauma or loss. She also supports people facing identity-related concerns including LGBT issues and multicultural stresses.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect to talk through patterns, try new strategies, and check what works in real life. The goal is clearer thinking and better ways to manage emotions and behavior.
Practically, she sees the realities people bring - sleep and eating problems, anger, impulsivity, and concentration challenges like ADHD. For anyone in New York looking for an experienced social worker, Gaykov offers two decades of clinical experience and a focus on usable tools and daily functioning.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches involve focusing on current problems and changing helpful or unhelpful patterns. One approach concentrates on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and testing different responses in real life to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Another approach emphasizes building concrete coping skills for stress, sleep, eating, and anger so people have specific tools to use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will review what helps and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear so sessions remain practical and relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows sessions to focus on everyday problems at times that work for clients, while keeping the same clinical structure and skill practice used in in-person care.
