About Geraldine
Geraldine Nisi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She is based in New York and brings 25 years of practice to conversations about coping, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Gerri keeps sessions practical and interactive.
She listens first and helps people set clear, attainable goals. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, like handling intense emotions, improving communication, and managing upsetting thoughts.
Background and approach
Her work combines techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and dialectical behavior strategies, alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. She adapts what she uses to the person in front of her rather than following a single formula. That means sessions can be skills-based, talk-focused, or a mix depending on needs.
Geraldine has worked in schools, hospitals, and community mental health clinics. That range gives her experience with practical problems tied to everyday life and health challenges. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, cancer-related issues, and aging concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Italian and include options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Geraldine uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she partners with each person to create a plan that fits their schedule and goals.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy is about listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes understanding your goals and helping you shape the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches steps you can use to change unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and staying focused under stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools, building emotional regulation skills from DBT, or following a client-centered path to clarify what matters most. The plan adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging is handy for brief updates, scheduling, or between-session support. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent despite work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
