Expert Therapy for Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Stress & Life Transitions | Leora Goldenberg, LCSW | CBT & Brainspotting | Serving New York & Florida
Therapy for anxiety in New York & Florida
Feeling constantly on edge, overthinking every decision, bracing for the next “what if,” or battling that nagging sense of not being good enough? It’s exhausting. You may appear calm and capable on the outside, but inside your mind is racing, your body is tense, and it’s getting harder to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
In our work together, anxiety doesn’t get to be the main character. You do. Through evidence-based approaches like Brainspotting and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we create a space to slow down, understand what your nervous system is protecting you from, and build lasting tools for clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. With a warm, authentic style that starts exactly where you are—no rush, no judgment—we focus on what’s present so you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
Sessions are not about fixing you, but about understanding you, your experiences, and the ways you have learned to cope in order to get through.
Adults seeking relief often crave freedom from constant worry, a quieter inner critic, and the ability to navigate life transitions without fear taking over. Together, we make that possible: saying “no” without guilt, feeling at home in your skin, and trusting yourself to handle what’s next.

Benefits of therapy
Overall, therapy can be an effective tool for personal growth and development, and can lead to a greater sense of well-being, fulfillment, and happiness. If you’re struggling with a mental health issue, feeling overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to, therapy can provide the support and guidance you need to move forward.
You’re in the right place if:
You want to show up as your true self
Authenticity is one of my core values, and I bring that into every session—inviting you to do the same. When we lead with authenticity, we create space for self-acceptance, and from there, real growth becomes possible.
I’m not here to just smile and nod. I’ll be fully present and engaged, genuinely focused on understanding you so you feel truly seen and heard.
You want real, actionable change
If you’re ready to make real progress, I combine practical, evidence-based tools like CBT and ACT with Brainspotting, a mind- body based approach that allows for deeper healing. Together, we’ll work through your challenges and put strategies in place that you can use right away.
You want someone who truly understands you
You deserve a therapist who gets it. I bring empathy, insight, and lived understanding into our sessions—creating a space that feels real, supportive, and empowering.
You want a therapist who’s down to earth (with a dash of humor)
If you value honesty, authenticity, and a little humor along the way, we’ll be a great fit. I keep things grounded and approachable while staying deeply focused on your growth and healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
******
Who do you work with?
I help adults who look “fine” outside but battle anxiety, people-pleasing and a harsh inner critic on the inside, gain confidence and learn to set boundaries and show up more authentically.
What’s your approach to therapy?
My goal is to create a space that feels grounded and human, where you do not have to perform or explain yourself away. This kind of presence allows for real connection and opens the door to deeper, more meaningful work. Together, we slow things down and get curious about what your nervous system is trying to protect you from. Rather than pushing for quick fixes, we take time to understand what keeps you feeling stuck and how those patterns developed.
Do you offer telehealth sessions?
Yes. I offer secure video sessions for clients in New York and Florida. You can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Where are you licensed to provide therapy?
I’m licensed in both New York and Florida.
