Heidi Galeone , LCSW

Heidi Galeone is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working in both New York and New Jersey with more than ten years of clinical experience. She also holds a certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), reflecting specialized training in mood and adjustment concerns related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Her practice focuses on people facing postpartum depression and anxiety, general depression, stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and other disruptive mental health symptoms. She brings attention to issues such as grief, parenting challenges, addictions, body image, and self-esteem while addressing the broader effects of life transitions and compassion fatigue.

Heidi approaches clinical work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She strives to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, clear communication, and safety, and she tailors sessions and treatment goals to each person’s specific needs. Seeking help can be a significant step, and Heidi aims to collaborate with individuals to create practical, individualized plans that support recovery and well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Heidi

Heidi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to produce measurable improvements in daily functioning.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, teaching present-focused awareness and simple practices that can reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and improve coping during periods of high stress or grief. Mindfulness can complement other interventions and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Heidi collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Heidi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life transitions, and fit therapy into a busy routine while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to each individual.
