About Nicholas
Nicholas Masser is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who focuses on practical help for common life struggles. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and parenting challenges. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps easier for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.
He believes each person knows their story best and brings that perspective into sessions. Nicholas helps clients identify strengths and build small, useful changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to what matters most right now. His approach blends several methods to match what a client needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tries simple experiments to shift them.
Mindfulness work helps people notice what’s happening in the moment without getting swept away. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to begin. Across nine years of practice Nicholas has helped people handle grief, trauma, career shifts, sleeping problems, anger, and issues tied to chronic illness.
He also works with concerns such as ADHD, codependency, and compassion fatigue. He uses straightforward tools rather than jargon so clients can use what they learn between sessions. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
He welcomes questions about how therapy could fit into a person’s life and helps plan the next practical steps.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches fit online care
Nicholas commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and test small changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing reactions in stressful moments. Mindfulness Therapy is also used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help people feel steadier in day-to-day life. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make a change but feel unsure or stuck by exploring strengths and personal reasons for change.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized and how sessions are structured over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, note-taking, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
