About Giuseppe
Dr. Giuseppe Sottile is a New York psychologist (NY Psychologist 019523) with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, addictions, grief, parenting questions, and family of origin issues. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.
He helps people sort through repeating patterns from the family they grew up in. That includes attachment problems, communication struggles, and the fallout from blended family dynamics. He also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges linked to identity and sexual expression such as BDSM and kink culture.
Dr. Sottile uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. He draws on client-centered work to focus on each person's goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for strong emotion management. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in his work when they fit a client's aims.
In sessions he focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. That may include behavior experiments, communication practice, and skills for managing panic or intense anger. He also guides people through career transitions and decisions when work stress is part of the problem.
He notes experience with long-term and short-term work, and with clients who face chronic illness, caregiving stress, or grief after loss. For someone wanting to understand how childhood roles still shape adult life, he offers direct discussion, skill teaching, and problem-focused planning.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspective. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on listening, clarifying priorities, and shaping the work around what the client wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In remote sessions CBT can include homework, thought records, and short in-session exercises to test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be taught in individual online meetings and practiced between sessions for issues like panic, anger, or relationship stress.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s situation. Sessions can shift toward skills, talk-based reflection, or action-focused work depending on progress and preference.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. This can help someone maintain momentum with therapy while managing work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
