About Dale
Dale Winchell is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. He holds LCSW and MD, LCSW-C credentials and brings three years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on clear, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by mood and stress.
Dale aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for a worried parent reading on a phone. He spends sessions helping people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
That can include managing anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD symptoms, and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. Dale draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas.
Treatments focus on skills you can use between sessions - problem solving, emotion regulation, and improving communication. He tailors those tools to each person’s needs instead of following a fixed script. His background includes work in an Intensive Outpatient Program where he supported people with serious depression and anxiety symptoms.
That experience shaped his attention to safety and practical coping. He does not specialize in addictions or substance use treatment and will suggest other providers when that is the main concern. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats like video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Dale uses a collaborative style - he listens, offers straightforward feedback, and helps people set small, achievable goals. The emphasis is on steady progress and everyday tools that fit a busy life.

Online support
Practical approaches for online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday mood concerns because it breaks issues into concrete patterns to work on.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. It can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when impulsive reactions cause relationship strain and ongoing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online therapy makes those approaches easier to use in regular life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or continuing skills between meetings. These options add flexibility for people balancing appointments with work, caregiving, or medical needs.
