Hello, I’m Dr. Ian Griffin, PhD, LCSW-R. I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and couples through life’s challenges. My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and stress related to work, identity, and major life transitions. I’ve worked across clinical, educational, and community settings, which allows me to bring a grounded, real-world perspective into therapy. My approach is warm, collaborative, and structured, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and couples counseling strategies. I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical—helping clients better understand their patterns while building tools they can use outside of sessions.

My clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and stress related to work, identity, and major life transitions.

I’m passionate about mental health advocacy and empowering clients to create meaningful, sustainable change. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, challenged when needed, and supported as you move toward greater clarity, balance, and well-being. I’m based in Wappingers Falls, New York, and offer telehealth services.

First session

In our first session, we’ll focus on understanding what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what support you need most right now. You’ll leave feeling heard, clearer about next steps, and with an initial plan tailored to you.

Strengths

My greatest strengths are my depth of experience, structured yet compassionate approach, and ability to translate insight into action. With over 20 years across clinical, educational, and community settings, I help clients feel understood while building real, usable change.

Ideal clients

I work best with individuals and couples who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained but are motivated for change. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship stress—and want practical tools, clarity, and lasting growth.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT to help clients challenge thoughts, build skills, and create lasting change.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I use ACT to build flexibility, values, and meaningful action despite distress.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use DBT to strengthen coping, emotional balance, and healthy relationships.
