Therapy for Individuals in New York Who Struggle with Anxiety, Boundaries, and Self-Doubt

You’re thoughtful, self-aware, and emotionally intelligent — but when it comes to relationships, conversations, or setting boundaries, you often second-guess yourself. You replay interactions, worry about rejection, and feel exhausted by people-pleasing.

At Remote Therapy New York, we help individuals heal relational trauma, strengthen their voice, and build confidence, so you can communicate clearly, set boundaries, and be kinder to yourself — without losing your softness.

  • We help clients work through a wide range of challenges, including:

    • Anxiety and stress management

    • Mood fluctuations and depression

    • Navigating difficult relationships

    • Setting and maintaining boundaries

    • Healing from trauma or life transitions

  • Scheduling is simple. You can book a consultation directly on our website, and we’ll match you with the therapist best suited to your needs. From there, you’ll receive a secure link to join your session remotely.

    Whether you go through insurance or private pay, our goal is the same: to make therapy supportive, accessible, and tailored to your needs.
