More about Cira
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed Clinical social worker in New York with over 25 years of professional work experience centering on individuals, couples, children and families in all dynamics and situations. I also work in the area of special education advocacy. I am a licensed special education teacher and school social worker. A few of the certifications I hold are trauma, ADHD, and child abuse.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or ridicule. I will challenge you to think out of the box and help you identify and develop tools and supports that lead to your success. I will call you on patterns and inconsistencies I observe and together we will find the function of your behavior.
Everyone has the ability to live a beautiful and complete life but sometimes you need a little help to get there. Together we will identify areas of strength that we will use to build a functioning toolbox of strategies that you can easily access to insure your happiness and success.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I can not wait to meet you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
