About Pamela
Pamela DiGangi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 36 years of experience. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, anger, and life changes. Pamela also addresses family and parenting concerns and problems like social anxiety and phobia.
She spent over three decades working in schools as a counselor and continues to offer family-focused work in community settings. That background means she is used to short-term problem solving and longer-term support, depending on what each person needs.
Pamela uses several practical approaches in sessions. She helps clients set clear goals, notice unhelpful thoughts, and try new behaviors. Sessions often involve talking through what’s getting in the way and practicing small changes that feel manageable.
Her methods include client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's own concerns, cognitive behavioral ideas to change thinking patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage strong feelings. She also draws on solution-focused thinking and Internal Family Systems ideas when helpful.
People who want help with workplace stress, parenting strain, family argument, or persistent worry will find concrete steps and tools in sessions. Pamela aims to make problems more understandable and break them into actions that can be practiced between meetings.
Those who prefer to begin by describing one specific problem usually start with a short plan and clear next steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Pamela commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's concerns and letting them guide the conversation, useful when someone needs to clarify priorities. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxious or unhelpful responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce the intensity of strong emotions and increase moment-to-moment awareness.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Pamela will work with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the approach as progress is made. The plan can change over time based on what feels most helpful and doable.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work between appointments and practice skills in everyday settings while getting guidance from a licensed professional.
