About Yana

Yana Gaykov, LCSW, brings two decades of clinical experience in New York to a practice grounded in respect for each person's lived experience.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and parenting concerns, and address depression, while also working with a range of related issues including grief, trauma, addictions, and attention-related difficulties. Her approach centers on recognizing the client as the expert in their own life and building on existing strengths to face challenges and pursue change.

Yana emphasizes collaborative, strength-based work that honors the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life. She supports clients confronting intimacy and self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, and addressing complex concerns such as bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, or chronic health-related stress.

In sessions she aims to create an atmosphere of practical problem-solving coupled with empathy, helping people identify goals and develop tools that fit their circumstances. Her New York licensure and 20 years of practice inform a seasoned, steady presence for those ready to start the work of change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Yana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client's needs. One common approach focuses on strengthening coping skills and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and manage stress, teaching concrete tools for daily life and emotional regulation. Another approach centers on processing relationship and trauma-related concerns through guided conversation and reflection, helping people explore patterns, improve communication, and work through painful experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process; she and the client work together to identify goals, try techniques that fit the client's preferences, and adjust methods as progress and needs evolve. This shared decision-making helps ensure that treatment feels relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those formats can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family responsibilities and to continue care from different locations within New York. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-based strategies to these remote formats to support steady progress while accommodating practical life demands.
