Hi, I'm Zalman. Great to meet you. So you're looking for a therapist? That's awesome. It takes courage to be here and you clearly have it! As for me, I'm a therapist with over 15 years of online therapy work: phone/video calls, text. It’s a passion of mine to use digital tools to help people: learn the emotional life skills they need to handle feelings, validate themselves, learn from emotional triggers, improve confidence and communication, and upgrade all of their relationships. And by adding inner child healing to the work, we get to the core of the issues. That way you get more effective, faster-achieved, and longer-lasting results that you'll see soon after you start...not after months. Results that you'll learn how to self-maintain and continue to develop. The goal is for you to fire me as soon as possible because you gained the knowledge, insight, tools, and skills to manage your own emotions and navigate the situations and relationships you encounter each day. My training includes a Master's Degree in Social Work from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, where I focused on Addictions treatment and did field placement work with an Inpatient Addiction Recovery center and the 12-Step community. Along with spiritual learning and a soulful background, I see much effectiveness from drawing upon and blending a broad range of tools, approaches, techniques, and philosophies that unite to provide what clients uniquely need in order to thrive, heal, grow, find happiness and success and confidence, and stand on their own two feet. Learn more about me online and on social media. Or sign up today and we'll get to work :)

Greetings! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Corey McSweeney. I am from Brooklyn, New York, but I currently live upstate. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 9 years of professional work experience. I currently work in private practice after previously working at a county mental health clinic. My time there was challenging but incredibly rewarding! Working for a community clinic offers many unique experiences that helped me grow as both a professional and as a person. While the matching process on BetterHelp is good, it is not perfect. As a result, there are times where your therapist preferences (gender, age, race, religion, etc.) are not met. Therefore, I encourage you to just double check if I am the right fit for you! I have considerable experience in helping clients with the following: - Generalized Stress/Anxiety - Social Anxiety - Depression - Panic Disorder - Anger Management - Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) - Conflict Resolution - Self-Harm - Suicidal Thoughts/Behavior - Motivation - Self Esteem/Confidence - Relationship Issues - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) - Bipolar Disorder - Phobias - Behavioral Addiction - Grief - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - Borderline Personality Disorder In addition to the issues identified above, I hold a certication as an International Gaming Disorder Counselor (IGDC). Although a relatively new diagnosis, video gaming disorders have become prevalent with both children and adults. If you or someone you care about has any issues with video games then I would be happy to share more with you! Please note, while I do have experience with the following areas... - Eating Disorders - Alcohol/Substance Abuse - Medication Management - Psychotic Disorders - Military Trauma - Domestic Violence - Relationship/Marriage Counseling - Autism Spectrum Disorder - Parenting Issues - Other Types of Personality Disorders ...I strongly encourage you to seek a therapist with a specialized treatment approach for these issues. It would be a great disservice if I attempted to help you without having the relevant experience, knowledge and training required. My approach to treatment is simple. First and foremost, I believe that having a rapport between us is the most important factor in the therapy process! Without it, there is a higher likelihood of distrust, poor communication, and misunderstanding. Therapy can be a very difficult and uncomfortable experience for some. My ultimate goal is to make your time with me as comfortable, productive, rewarding, and even as fun as possible! To gain the most from the therapy process, it’s helpful if you are honest about your commitments to self-examination, understanding, and our relationship. This includes any concerns you may have regarding services or with me. I want to serve you well and appreciate any feedback you may have that will help me to do so. With that being said, I believe it is vital that you know a bit about me before possibly working together. My therapy style is structured, but also very flexible and relaxed. I want you to speak openly and without fear. For example, if you like to curse, then curse away! This is therapy, not a purity contest! The more you feel comfortable expressing yourself, the greater the chance that you'll be more willing to share. Because in therapy, when you're afraid to say something, it is often the case that it needs to be said. While some therapists avoid self-disclosure and personal experience, I find it incredible valuable when used appropriately. We are all people and if there is a chance to connect on that level then I believe it is worth it. I try my best to be an open book, but only when I think it adds value to the therapy process. After all, we're not here to talk about me! The Bottom line: You are the expert of your story! My role in this journey is to guide you and use my knowledge and expertise to help you achieve your goals. Always remember this: progress is not a straight line. There will be ups and downs, twists and turns, and detours along the way. You may, at times, feel like you are failing. However, the way I see it, if you are trying you are never failing. I very much look forward to working together!

I have my bachelor's in social work and earned my master's degree in mental health counseling in 2013. I have most of my experience in substance abuse treatment as well as grief, trauma, suicide prevention, and mood and anxiety disorders. I love being able to provide a listening ear and helping others find their way to a life that is more in alignment with their goals/desires and values. I approach therapy from a holistic standpoint and like to focus on all areas of an individual’s life. Though the focus for the session may be more centered on a specific topic, this can connect to multiple concerns a person has and improve ones overall life. We can work on this together. I work best with clients who strive for connection and growth. With each session a client usually comes away with new understanding about their situation. And if we can add a little humor to help process things, then all the more help with moving towards your life goals and dreams. Life can be really tough and carrying that weight alone can be exhausting. I am here to help life some of that weight, so hopefully you can get some relief and be able to have the life you dream about. I also do life coaching through the Law Of Attraction.

Find a therapist near you in Franklinville, New York

Finding a therapist near you in Franklinville, New York starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. New York is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.

During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In New York, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across New York, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges.
