About Doreen

Dr. Doreen Stewart brings three decades of clinical experience to her practice in New York, holding an LMHC credential (NY LMHC 002718).

Background and approach

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering attentive listening and a nonjudgmental stance while using evidence-based tools to help clients address stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, ADHD, and other life challenges. Her background emphasizes practical strategies grounded in cognitive and behavioral traditions alongside motivational techniques to support change.

Clients can expect a practitioner who prioritizes clear goals and steady progress, combining solution-focused interventions with client-centered care. Common concerns she addresses include grief, relationship and communication problems, workplace stress, panic and social anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions.

Dr. Stewart frames therapy as a partnership aimed at helping people regain balance, develop coping skills, and move toward healthier functioning using approaches that fit each person’s needs.

She delivers care in English and offers multiple session formats to accommodate varied schedules. Dr.

Stewart’s practice emphasizes practical tools and collaborative planning so clients can apply what they learn in therapy to everyday situations and long-term goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

The practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that focus on both changing unhelpful thoughts and building values-driven action. CBT offers practical techniques to identify and reframe thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and workplace stress. ACT emphasizes noticing difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values, which can be helpful for coping with life changes, grief, and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods feel most useful, adapting strategies over time to match goals, preferences, and progress rather than sticking to a single technique from the start.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules and provide multiple ways to stay connected between appointments, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and apply therapeutic tools in day-to-day life.
