Teletherapy for Grand Central - New York, NY

Greetings, My name is Laci Beckett and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Masters Degree in Social Work from Fordham University in NYC. With over 10 years of clinical expertise, I focus my practice using various therapeutic modalities, including Trauma-informed care, Psychodynamic, Solution focused, and Family systems. I provide therapy to adolescents and adults impacted adversely by anxiety, depression, adjustment/change, discrimination, chronic medical conditions, grief, and family conflicts.

If you find yourself saying things like, “laundry shouldn’t be this hard” or “I can’t believe I’ve been doom scrolling for 4 hours,” you’re definitely not alone. Maybe your house is a mess but you’re so stressed about it you can’t start cleaning. Maybe you and your partner are looking to open up the relationship but are struggling to communicate boundaries. Or, maybe you're questioning your sexual identity and are simply tired of living inauthentically. When you’re feeling hopeless, helpless, or just plain stuck, therapy can provide understanding and meaningful change for your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychodynamic psychotherapy that aims to empower individuals through increased self-awareness. In my view, for every problem there is a relational solution. I work towards establishing therapeutic relationships that invite individuals to be curious about the expanse of their inner lives and connections with others. Personal suffering can often leave us feeling disconnected and out of touch with what we think, feel, and need. Through talk therapy, I want to help you relate to yourself honestly so you feel more authentic, whole and aligned with your voice, desires, and values.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and New Jersey. I am an authorized practitioner through PSYPACT, which allows me to practice telepsychology in 39 states. My office is in Midtown Manhattan, where I also provide psychotherapy for adolescents and adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT. I also perform psychological evaluations and specialize in education and forensic evaluations.

Jackson (Jax) (he/him) excels at providing psychotherapy for adults and adolescents, as well as building executive functioning skills and strategies. Due to his academic and professional experience, and his own identity as a gay trans man, Jax enjoys working with members of the queer community. Jax thrives at working with clients who have ADHD, anxiety, OCD and autism (whether formally diagnosed or not). He has extensive knowledge about executive dysfunction and related skill-building. He also specializes in helping his clients navigate issues related to polyamory/non-monogamy.

I'm deeply commited to collaborating with my clients on forging new paths towards mental health and well-being. I look at all therapy through the lens of positive psychology and believe that everyone has innate & unique strengths. My goal is to help my clients identify and lean into those strengths by using a blend of empathy, understanding, and evidence-based practices tailored to each unique person. I believe in the power of vulnerability and open communication in therapy to open doors to self-discovery. Through my nonjudgmental and collaborative style, I create a safe space for clients of all ages, genders, & sexual orientations.

If you find yourself struggling to navigate life in what feels like a messy, complicated, relentless world, reaching out for help can feel overwhelming. I strive to create a space where you can fully explore and process your thoughts, feelings and experiences, without judgement. I believe that therapy looks different for everyone, and it can even vary session to session. Most importantly, it is a collaborative process that works best when you feel truly seen and heard.

Do you get the feeling that something is missing in your life? Maybe you are stuck in patterns that aren’t serving you, lacking a sense of true connection in your relationships, or feeling lost when it comes to your purpose or career. Perhaps you don’t have a space to safely explore the complexities of your racial, cultural, or sexual identity. Together we can identify barriers to growth, uncover your inner strengths, and break cycles to help you reach your goals and lead a fulfilling life. Having worked extensively with college/graduate students, I am attuned to the unique pressures of academia and other high-pressure environments.

Success is exhausting. You feel tired all the time, overwhelmed with work, and can’t remember the last time you had energy to enjoy the simple things in life. You are so over it. But you also feel stuck. I specialize in helping professional women create a plan to get unstuck, overcome anxiety, and build resilience so they can live their best life. I provide you with the support and holistic skills you are looking for to create calm and clarity. I take an active role to listen to you, guide you, and support you so that you can achieve your goals.

Hello, I like to say that I take an integrative approach to therapy, combining behavioral and humanistic therapies. I have experience working with several causes of suffering, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma (or a combination). And I work from my belief that every person is larger than their symptoms and I want to work with you to help you live the life you want to live.

While being truly seen and heard is one of the most beautiful aspects of good therapy, I’m sure you also want help with relieving stress and dealing with painful problems - the kind that can play with emotions and make you doubt yourself. Combining insight-oriented therapy and practical strategies can bring about really positive change. I draw from many schools of thought, yet I most align with cognitive behavioral and insight-oriented therapy. Drawing on your strengths, we can explore new ways to look at difficult situations, which can bring about positive feelings, actions and results.

Collaboratively, I assess the client's concerns, formulate treatment goals, and facilitate the interplay of cognitive, behavioral, and trauma-related factors. Together, we develop a tailored treatment plan that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness techniques based on the client's specific needs and goals.

There are many times in life when we struggle to find our way. This can be the result of a loss, a difficult transition, a traumatic event, or the breakdown of an important relationship. In my experience, talking helps. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified psychoanalyst. I work with individuals of all ages who are coping with trauma, loss, illness, relational difficulties, parenting struggles, gender identity issues, depression, anxiety, and life-stage transitions.

I received my doctoral degree and training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I completed postdoctoral training at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, and further training in research and clinical assessments of mood and anxiety disorders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Columbia University Medical Center, and New York State Psychiatric Institute.

Above all, therapy is a place to be your real, authentic self. I support clients experiencing a range of life challenges by fostering a safe, trusting environment where they can develop self-compassion as they gain insight about current life situations, contextualize the impact of past experiences, and develop clarity on future goals. Through the use of highly effective evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will create strategies for empowering you to take control of your thoughts and behaviors, and let go of the negative patterns that no longer serve you.

I work with high-functioning professionals whose stressful lives are causing relationship issues, depression, or anxiety. I have a passion for helping organizational leaders better manage their work-life balance. By talking things through with an expert you can get a better handle on your difficulties, and realize your potential.
