Lindsay Pagano,

Therapist

, LCSW

One of the most meaningful parts of my work is watching clients develop insight, build resilience, and move toward personal growth — a process I believe is possible through the strength of the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to foster safe, collaborative sessions where people feel supported, encouraged, and open to trying fresh approaches.

I cultivated this approach during my time at a private outpatient practice in New York City, where I saw patients gain clarity and confidence. I also worked in a fast-paced, high-stakes hospital setting, expanding my skills in crisis stabilization, interdisciplinary collaboration, and navigating the wider healthcare system. I developed a strong understanding of community resources and honed the ability to craft thoughtful, individualized treatment plans that addressed complex needs.

I’ve supported individuals with anxiety disorders, OCD, and phobias, often working through the ruminating and racing thoughts that come with them. I also work closely with those navigating ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, including autism spectrum and learning differences, and my experience extends to supporting children with autism as well as parents of neurodivergent kids. In these sessions, I draw on psychoeducation, a strengths-based perspective, and practical tools for time management and executive functioning to help people feel more capable in daily life. Alongside this, I support those facing family and relationship stress, workplace pressures, or low self-esteem — always through a culturally sensitive lens.

With cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors while building healthier responses to life’s demands. Incorporating principles of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), I guide individuals in developing self-compassion and psychological adaptability — the ability to stay present, accept difficult emotions, and commit to actions aligned with personal values. Through dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), I support clients with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness — skills that are especially valuable for managing intense emotions, relational challenges, and impulsivity.

Why Work with Me?

I want clients to leave sessions not only with strategies, but with the confidence to use them. You can expect to explore unhelpful thought patterns, gain psychological insight, and build tools to feel more in control of life. My approach is holistic, grounded in the belief that every aspect of identity — mind, body, and spirit — plays a role in mental health. I’m passionate about helping people trust their own judgment and instincts. What might feel like a weakness or a diagnosis can also be reframed as strengths to be used in meaningful ways. Together, we can uncover abilities you may not realize you already have and use them to create lasting change.
