Hi my name is Orly Krupkin, LCSW and I'm glad you're here. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m glad you reached out. I work with adults navigating life transitions, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, caregiver challenges, midlife concerns, and relationship issues - including maintaining healthy boundaries and building more fulfilling connections. My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change. I strive to offer a safe and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. You don’t have to go through this alone; I’m here to help you move forward one step at a time.
In our first session, I'll start by getting to know you. I'll ask some questions to understand what's been going on with you, what brought you here, and what you hope to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to share everything right away; we'll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create a safe space where you can be yourself and feel supported as we begin this process together.
Clients who work with me often say they feel comfortable and connected from the start. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where you can be yourself and speak openly about what's on your mind. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all method; I listen and tailor our work to your unique needs and pace.
I support clients experiencing anxiety, helping them navigate uncertainty with practical, compassionate strategies while building a more balanced and fulfilling daily life. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals who are grieving the loss of a loved one. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can process grief at your own pace, make sense of the pain of loss, and gently adjust to life after someone has passed. My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and less alone as you move through this deeply personal experience. I support adults navigating life transitions, particularly those approaching or entering retirement, as well as professionals going through career changes who are seeking to rediscover purpose and direction. I also work with individuals who want to strengthen communication and maintain meaningful connections through periods of change. Above all, I work best with clients who are ready to commit to the process those who are open, motivated, and willing to actively engage in creating a meaningful change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In working with clients, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is a practical, evidence based approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Often, when we're feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, it's because certain thought patterns or habits are keeping us in a cycle that's hard to break. CBT gives us tools to interrupt that cycle. We will work together on the thoughts that are negative, self critical, or unrealistic and we'll work together to challenge and reframe them. We will develop small manageable steps to try new ways of responding. Therapy isn't about "fixing" you-because you are not broken. It's about learning new ways to challenges, becoming more aware of your patterns, and building the confidence to move forward with intention.
