Hi there, my name is Aya Kupfer and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in TX, CA and NJ. Feeling depressed, anxious, or simply not yourself, can be an overwhelming experience. You might be feeling unhappy, unmotivated, lonely, or maybe just "stuck". You might be having ruminating, racing thoughts that make it hard to see things clearly and move forward in life. I am here to help you reconnect to yourself, to your personal goals, values, and motivations: all the things that make you a unique individual (you!). I'm here to support you, explore your thoughts and emotions, sort through the difficulties you are dealing with, and gain insight and tools to navigate your life. My skill as a therapist is transforming clinical knowledge into practical advice to help you better cope and manage the challenging issues you face. My goal is to help you develop actual effective solutions to your emotional obstacles.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I'm interested in understanding your background, your current situation, and the challenges or goals that led you to seek therapy. Feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with, and we'll work at a pace that feels right for you. We'll discuss what you hope to achieve through therapy and any specific goals you may have. This will help guide our work together and provide a clear direction for our sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I've worked in the mental health field for more than a decade, during that time I have built meaningful connections with clients that focus on identifying their strengths and tailoring treatment to their unique needs. I provide an empathetic and compassionate approach while also being direct and reflective to clients. I have extensive experience working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety bipolar disorder, and struggling with various life transitions.

adults, young adults, and young adult professionals facing mood changes such as, depression, anxiety or difficulty with life transitions - work/personal. relationship difficulties, adjustment after childbirth, first time parent. postpartum depression bipolar disorder - mania and hypomania. high/medium levels of functioning.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
As a therapist utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), my approach would be to guide clients in developing psychological flexibility, which involves being open, adaptable, and effective in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It's important to note that CBT is generally a short-term, goal-oriented therapy. Our aim is to equip you with the tools and skills needed to address your current challenges and to foster lasting positive changes in your life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is based on the idea of finding a balance between seemingly opposing forces - hence the term 'dialectical.' One of the main goals of DBT is to help you build skills to manage intense emotions, develop healthier interpersonal relationships, and navigate distressing situations more effectively.
