What types of payment and insurance options are available?

We accept a range of insurance plans to make therapy accessible to as many people as possible.

Carolyn Valenzuela, licensed clinical social worker and founder at Remote Therapy New York

You spend so much time showing up for everyone else. Therapy can be a space to show up for yourself.

Between careers, relationships, family responsibilities, and the expectations we place on ourselves, it can be difficult to find room to slow down and understand what we need.

I founded Remote Therapy New York to create a space where women can feel heard beyond the roles they hold and the responsibilities they carry. A space to make sense of what feels overwhelming, explore the patterns that keep them stuck, and reconnect with a stronger sense of self.

Because taking care of yourself isn't separate from taking care of the people you love. You deserve support, too.

My Approach

My approach integrates trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, parts work (IFS-informed), and cognitive-behavioral strategies in a way that feels approachable and personalized to you. Our work may include:

Understanding and softening self-critical thoughts
Strengthening boundaries and assertive communication
Managing anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Processing past experiences that continue to shape your present
Building self-trust and resilience during life transitions

I move at your pace. Therapy with me is collaborative — not prescriptive. My goal is to help you feel steadier in your body, clearer in your decisions, and more confident expressing your needs.

You don’t have to keep navigating this alone.

I believe therapy should feel both reflective and practical — supportive, but also empowering.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck — whether that’s people-pleasing, fear of rejection, difficulty setting boundaries, or a harsh inner critic. We’ll gently unpack where those patterns began, while also building tools you can use in your everyday life.

“My first appointment went really well and she was very attentive and responsive when i gave her my history and basic information. I was seen right on time and the platform she uses for the online appointments was easy to use and the call was crystal clear. She was very kind throughout the appointment and i’m excited to continue working with her!”

– K.B.
