About Arnice
Arnice Izquierdo, LMHC, has six years of clinical experience and practices in New York. She works with adults around addictions and related concerns such as substance use, gambling, and social anxiety and phobia.
She helps people who are dealing with drug and alcohol problems, process addictions like gambling or compulsive behaviors, and nicotine cessation. She also supports those facing relationship strain, communication problems, commitment concerns, divorce or separation, and struggles with self-love and impulsivity.
Arnice uses a relational, collaborative style in sessions. She leans on cognitive behavioral methods and motivational interviewing to set clear goals and build practical skills. Sessions involve talking through patterns, trying out new responses, and tracking small changes over time.
She provides care in both English and Spanish and works with adults in New York by telehealth. The first meetings focus on what matters most to the person and on setting manageable steps forward.
Her background includes study at NYU and Adelphi University and direct experience in behavioral health and addiction settings. That practical experience informs how she approaches treatment planning and relapse prevention.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
CBT, or cognitive behavioral techniques, focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. This helps with social anxiety and phobic avoidance by breaking tasks into small, manageable steps and tracking what changes.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people who are ambivalent about quitting substances or cutting down problem behaviors by clarifying personal reasons and building commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as needed rather than sticking to a single technique.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. They also let people work from a quieter location or avoid being on camera when that helps with concentration. Licensed professionals often find these practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life.
