More about Wayne
- 16 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both the states of New York and Florida. I am a Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in the State of Florida and a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) in the State of New York. I have accumulated thirty-five (35) years of counseling experience. A lot of this counseling experience was earned at Spofford Juvenile Detention Center and Riker's Island Correctional Facility in New York City. In 2008, I was graduated from Fordham University's Graduate School of Social Service with a Master's Degree in Social Work. My internship at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center focused on consumers who presented with dual diagnoses. After graduation, I worked at the Queens Hospital Center's outpatient alcohol clinic for the NYC Health and Hospitals Corporation in Queens, NY. Afterwards, I worked at Zucker Hillside Day Program at Northwell in Glen Oaks on Long Island. I earned my undergraduate degree in English from the State University of New York at Buffalo. My studies prepared me well with an improved perspective on relationships. I work within therapeutic relationships that are based genuinely in equality, fairness, and respectfulness. Because of my approach, I practice Motivational Interviewing (MI), a Strengths Perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My relationships are not ordinate-subordinate, normal-abnormal, or superior-inferior. I am a multi-faceted therapist who does not approach clients with one-size-fits-all and cookie cutter treatments. I treat individuals with the utmost sensitivity while assessing their presenting issues. I look forward to listening for their core problems, as opposed to talking at them.

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.
