While my primary approach is psychodynamic, person-centered, and emotionally focused, I may incorporate CBT-informed strategies when they are helpful for a client’s goals. Sessions provide a supportive space to explore current concerns, identify patterns of thinking or reacting, and develop greater awareness of how these patterns affect emotions and behavior.

The process is collaborative and tailored to you, with the goal of helping you better understand yourself and make changes that support the life you want to live.

Moshe Maness is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from Brooklyn, NY but now online in NY. CT, MA, PA, FL, AK and WA. Moshe is passionate about showing individuals that their mental health doesn’t have to control their lives. Moshe helps clients who face depression, anxiety, stress, and difficult emotions that hold them back from living full lives. These individuals might also face perfectionism or burnout. Their mental health may get in the way of succeeding in the workplace, building healthy relationships, or feeling confident in themselves. Many of Moshe’s clients also experience overwhelming and at times confusing feelings of anger, frustration, loneliness, or regret. Moshe’s approach to therapy is psychodynamic, person-centered, and emotionally-focused. Clients talk openly about what’s on their mind, including their past, recent or current emotions, situations that made them react in a certain way, or ideas that came to them since the last session. Moshe helps clients make connections between the past and the present. He also teaches clients how to pay close attention to how they’re feeling, both emotionally and physically. Clients practice mindfulness to develop a keen sense of awareness that can help them better understand their reactions. Moshe also helps clients align their lives closer to their values and what’s important to them so that there’s no dissonance between how they live and how they want to live. He encourages them to consider existential questions about their life’s purpose and what it means to them to be fulfilled. Moshe earned a Master’s degree from Columbia University. He empowers clients to live confidently and with a sense of worthiness, even if they’re facing mental health challenges. He values creativity, compassion, and acceptance in his work with clients and strives to build a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship from the very first session.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. In our sessions, we’ll work together to uncover these thought patterns, challenge and reframe them with more balanced perspectives, and implement behavioral changes through techniques like gradual exposure to feared situations. Each session typically begins with a check-in, where we discuss your week and any challenges you've faced, followed by practical exercises and often homework assignments to reinforce what you've learned. It’s important to know that CBT is a collaborative process, requiring your active participation, and that progress can vary; feeling discomfort as you confront challenging thoughts is normal. My goal is to empower you with tools to manage your thoughts and behaviors effectively, helping you find relief from anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges while supporting you on your journey to a more fulfilling life.

CBT works by showing our brain new ways of functioning, processing, and responding to our experiences. This happens as we make changes to our thoughts and actions in the present. Many people find that their lives improve more quickly because of the present-focused changes, and science also shows that the brain responds by changing its ways of operating over time.
