About Evangeline

Evangeline Benitez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues related to attention and focus including ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes understanding each person’s developmental background and current life context to tailor practical strategies for emotional regulation and day-to-day functioning. Her style is person-centered and holistic, blending evidence-based techniques with a strong emphasis on collaboration and skill-building.

She supports clients across a range of concerns such as panic symptoms, obsessive-compulsive patterns, mood disorders, self-esteem struggles, and perinatal mood issues. Evangeline aims to help clients build emotional awareness, strengthen communication, and develop tools to manage impulses and difficult moods.

In sessions she prioritizes empathy, respect, and clear collaboration so clients can feel heard while working toward measurable changes. Treatment focuses on practical coping skills and interventions that fit each person’s strengths and goals, with attention to family dynamics and developmental needs when appropriate.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Evangeleline integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into online work, including cognitive-behavioral strategies that help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and compulsive behaviors. She also uses emotion regulation and skill-based methods that focus on increasing awareness of feelings, reducing impulsive responses, and building routines that support daily functioning and stress management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which techniques feel most useful given their symptoms, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time as needs change so that treatment stays relevant and actionable.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in therapy from home or work, fit sessions around busy schedules, and continue care when circumstances change, while still focusing on skill-building and measurable progress with a licensed professional.
