About Dale

Dale Winchell is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York who draws on three years of clinical experience to help people reframe unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping skills.

Background and approach

He holds LCSW and LCSW-C credentials and has worked in an Intensive Outpatient Program, where he supported people facing significant depression and anxiety symptoms. His practice includes attention to stress, ADHD, self-esteem, trauma, relationship concerns, and LGBT-related issues.

Winchell uses a collaborative, compassionate style that emphasizes skill-building and emotional regulation. He focuses on helping clients manage mood symptoms, impulsivity, and interpersonal difficulties by adapting evidence-based techniques to individual needs.

He also addresses career challenges, caregiver stress, chronic health concerns, and communication or attachment difficulties. While not a specialist in substance use treatment, he will work alongside clients managing co-occurring mental health symptoms and can recommend additional resources when specialized addiction care is indicated.

His aim is to offer an affirming, nonjudgmental environment where practical strategies and personal growth are pursued together.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people struggling with impulsivity, emotional reactivity, or unstable relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing distorted thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and structured homework, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their goals, symptoms, and preferences and will adjust the plan over time to match what proves most helpful. This means techniques may be blended and tailored rather than applied rigidly, and progress is reviewed together to guide next steps.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and easier access from different locations within the therapist’s service area. These options allow people to engage in skills practice, receive real-time coaching, and keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
