Welcome! My name is Francesca Dorvilas. I am a passionate and dedicated Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. After obtaining Masters in Social Work at Barry University, I have gained over 14 years of experience providing services to varies populations. I specialize in anger management, stress management, anxiety, trauma, depression, helping individuals to overcome challenges and improve their overall well-being. I am trained in evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), (DBT) Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, (MST) Multi-Systemic Therapy, Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Solution Focused, Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
My focus in our first session is on getting a full picture of who you are, what led you to therapy and what you are seeking to achieve. It is a dedicated space and time for you to feel heard, seen and understood.
My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I believe in the importance of creating a safe and non-judgmental space. I work collaboratively with my clients, tailoring treatment plans to meet their unique needs and goals. If you are seeking Telehealth support for any mental health concerns or are interested in exploring therapy, I would be happy to connect with you. Schedule your first session today!
My ideal client is someone who is feeling stuck or is in a transitional phase in their life but not clear on how to move forward. Someone who is struggling with managing their emotions such as anger, anxiety, and depression. In addition, clients who are struggling with a poor work-life balance, dealing with work stress and even work place trauma.
I use CBT as a collaborative approach to help my client's connect their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It will help identify patterns, challenge negatives thoughts and set clear goals for success.
