I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) with advanced training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT). I work with clients of all ages, including LGBTQ+ individuals, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for those navigating depression, anxiety, grief, and other life challenges. My approach is grounded in the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is a powerful tool for growth and healing, and I place a strong emphasis on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I am particularly interested in helping clients explore how their experiences, patterns, and behaviors impact their daily lives, relationships, and overall well-being. Together, we work to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for change, empowering clients to feel more in control of their thoughts, emotions, and actions. I integrate multiple evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, MI, and Narrative Therapy, tailoring each approach to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual.

I use my ability to connect well with others and evidence-based techniques to empower clients to gain confidence, develop coping skills, manage emotions, and embrace themselves.

I’m a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic-oriented therapist who works in a warm, relational, and insight-driven way. I help clients understand the deeper emotional patterns, internal conflicts, and early experiences that shape how they feel and respond today. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and a belief that real change comes from understanding the meaning behind our struggles—not just managing symptoms. In our work together, I pay attention to the themes that show up in your relationships, your history, and even in the therapeutic relationship itself. These patterns often hold the key to why certain feelings or situations keep repeating. By exploring them at a comfortable pace, we create room for clarity, emotional relief, and lasting growth. Clients come to me for help with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, family conflict, self-esteem, and difficult life transitions. I offer a thoughtful, steady space where you can explore your inner world, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward a more authentic and meaningful life.

At my core, I am a therapist who believes in the transformative power of depth, empathy, humor, and the arts. I’ve spent my career helping people understand themselves more fully — not only by reducing symptoms, but by uncovering the narratives, emotions, and self-limiting beliefs that have kept them small or stuck. I work from a humanistic and psychoanalytic foundation, integrating mindfulness, ACT, and solution-focused strategies to help clients access resilience, self-compassion, and real change. I bring a warm, grounded, and creative presence into the room. My background as an artist and writer shapes my work: I’m attentive to symbolism, story, imagination, and the deeper layers of a person’s emotional life. Humor is also one of my most natural tools, not to avoid pain, but to help clients feel safe, open, and connected as they explore difficult experiences. Across corporate mental health, trauma work, refugee support, and private practice, I’ve seen how people flourish when they’re permitted to be fully themselves. I help clients build self-esteem through honesty, curiosity, and acceptance; loosen rigid patterns; and move beyond the internalized messages or roles that no longer serve them

Hello! My name is Gregory Longmore. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Brooklyn, NY. I provide Christian counseling, however I'm able to clinically assess and treat the most common mental health disorders. This means that it's not required that we talk about Christ, or that you are Christian to use my services. Currently I'm offering online services only, through a virtual clinic.

Hi, I’m Marlenny, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping clients move from emotional overwhelm to clarity, confidence, and inner steadiness. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe that therapy should feel like a safe space to breathe, explore, and rediscover your voice—not another place you have to perform or hold everything together. Over the years, I’ve helped clients navigate anxiety, self-doubt, burnout, and relationship stress by learning to pause, understand their emotions, and build skills that truly fit their lives. Whether you’re navigating a major life change or simply feel “stuck,” my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward a version of yourself that feels more grounded and self-assured.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who blends practical tools with a calm, trauma-informed approach. I help adults and couples reduce anxiety, improve communication, and feel steadier in their bodies and relationships. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. You’ll get clear goals, gentle structure, and skills you can use between sessions. My work draws from attachment theory, CBT/ACT, IFS-informed parts work, and somatic regulation so change is felt, not just understood. Clients describe me as grounding and thoughtful; they leave sessions with language for what they’re feeling and simple steps to move forward. I’m culturally responsive and sensitive to faith, family roles, and identity. You don’t have to explain your background to be understood here. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of patterns, and build flexible habits that support the life you want.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem? Are you feeling unsatisfied in your relationships or find yourself wanting more out of life? Whatever brought you here, you've taken a first step toward change. My approach blends practical tools from CBT and DBT with somatic work and EMDR, so you not only learn to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors but also understand how the body holds onto experiences and how to release them. This combination of evidence-based techniques and genuine conversation helps you create real, lasting change.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New York rather than a city like New York City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New York from Buffalo to Rochester! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New York.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Depression?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in New York that work with patients with similar concerns.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
