More about Wayne
- 16 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both the states of New York and Florida. I am a Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in the State of Florida and a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in the State of New York. I have accumulated thirty-five (35) years of counseling experience. A lot of this counseling experience was earned at Spofford Juvenile Detention Center and Riker's Island Correctional Facility in New York City. In 2008, I was graduated from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service with a Master's Degree in Social Work. My internship at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center focused on consumers who presented with dual diagnoses. After graduation, I worked at the Queens Hospital Center's outpatient alcohol clinic for the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation in Queens, NY. Afterwards, I worked at Zucker Hillside Day Program at Northwell in Glen Oaks on Long Island. I earned my undergraduate degree in English from the State University of New York at Buffalo. My studies prepared me well with an improved perspective on relationships. I work within therapeutic relationships that are based genuinely in equality, fairness, and respectfulness. Because of my approach, I practice Motivational Interviewing (MI), a Strengths Perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My relationships are not ordinate-subordinate, normal-abnormal, or superior-inferior. I am a multi-faceted therapist who does not approach clients with one-size-fits-all and cookie cutter treatments. I treat individuals with the utmost sensitivity while assessing their presenting issues. I look forward to listening for their core problems, as opposed to talking at them.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
