About Giuseppe

Dr. Giuseppe Sottile is a licensed clinical psychologist in New York who integrates cognitive behavioral approaches with client-centered care to address stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He brings 15 years of clinical experience to work that emphasizes practical skills alongside exploration of deeper patterns, helping people who face challenges such as self-esteem struggles, career shifts, interpersonal communication problems, and trauma recovery. His practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational techniques to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

He has particular experience with issues like panic and mood challenges, attachment concerns, workplace stress, and identity exploration, and also addresses a wide range of related topics including addictions, grief, caregiving strain, and complex family dynamics. Dr.

Sottile communicates in English and Italian and frames therapy as an inclusive, culturally aware process. He aims to help clients develop sustainable coping strategies, clearer communication skills, and a greater sense of agency when facing life changes and interpersonal difficulties.

Approaches that guide online work and skill building

Dr. Sottile frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behavioral strategies; this approach is often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and stress-related problems. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client's priorities and experience shape the pace and focus of sessions. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be employed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when those areas are a focus.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand goals, preferences, and practical needs, then adapt interventions so they feel useful and relevant rather than prescribed from the outset.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care during busy periods or life transitions and allow clients to choose the format that best supports their progress.
