Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Hello there, my name is Albert Cagganello and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have well over 20 years of experience in helping people navigate their challenges in life. I view therapy as a partnership, and I consider my clients the experts in what would be most helpful to them. I have specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy, specifically DBT, trauma therapies and I am well versed in the general principles of the helping professions. I strive to form partnerships with my clients in a nonjudgmental environment. I primarily work with adults, people 18 and over. I can be very helpful with the challenges of anxiety, stress, depression, communication, relationship issues, low motivation and trauma. I strive to create a therapeutic alliance in which the person feels understood, heard and supported. Validation of the person's experience is critical. In the first session, I give my clients the opportunity to decide how they would like to use their time, to ask me questions and to express their wishes of me as a therapist. I would also explain the principles of telehealth and the assessment/goal setting process.
