About Adam
Adam Turkel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood shifts, substance concerns, and relationship or intimacy difficulties. He also supports those dealing with grief, sleep trouble, parenting pressures, career strain, and issues tied to money or life transitions. He brings 22 years of experience working in community settings to his work with men's wellbeing among other concerns.
He uses a person-centered style that treats each client as the expert on their life. That means listening first, then shaping goals together. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking and behavior patterns, and Mindfulness-based techniques to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
Adam has long experience in hospital and community mental health settings. He has worked with people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia, and has provided care for chemical dependency and addiction issues. That background informs how he assesses risk and offers practical recommendations.
Sessions can be short-term goal work or longer-term counseling depending on need. He aims to help people make concrete changes that match their goals, whether improving sleep, repairing communication, or managing panic attacks. He prefers clear, direct conversation and practical steps.
People who want to begin are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions are conducted in English and Adam does not accept international clients.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals with the client. In online sessions this means the therapist pays close attention to what matters most to the person and shapes the work around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood symptoms by offering clear skills to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calm, using brief exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or stress management. These techniques are often handed to clients as short practices to use during the week. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to pick techniques that feel practical and manageable. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since the original biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and let people use sessions without travel time. Discuss scheduling preferences during the initial matching step to find an arrangement that fits everyday life.Areas of expertise
