About Mindy
Mindy Haber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of practice in New York. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, career pressures, life changes, trauma and grief. Mindy also focuses on issues such as abandonment, communication problems, workplace difficulties, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. Mindy emphasizes understanding how thoughts shape feelings and behavior while noticing personal strengths. She draws on client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies.
In practice she helps people name what is most urgent, try doable changes, and check what helps. Sessions include gentle challenge of unhelpful thinking and brief experiments to test new ways of coping. The approach is hands-on rather than theoretical, with clear next steps between meetings.
Mindy’s background includes two decades of experience working with adults and adolescents across life transitions and losses. As an LCSW she blends listening with concrete tools to manage symptoms and everyday tasks. She aims to help people regain more control over daily routines and relationships.
Many clients use a combination of short-term solution-focused work and longer cognitive behavioral efforts for deeper patterns. Mindy adapts the pace and focus based on what someone says they need. To begin, she asks about current struggles and priorities, then outlines an initial plan to address them.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mindy uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques in her practice. Client-centered work means she listens closely to what matters to the person and follows their lead while offering reflections. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce distress. Solution-focused work targets concrete goals and small, immediate steps that can change day-to-day functioning.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work together. She will help the client decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as sessions unfold. That collaboration makes the work feel more relevant and easier to apply between meetings.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to try behavioral experiments or thought records between meetings when they can meet from a familiar setting and return to daily tasks after a session.
