About Barbara
Barbara Segreto, LCSW-R, is licensed in New York and has 38 years of clinical experience. She helps people address depression, anxiety, bipolar issues, addictions, eating concerns, trauma and grief. Her practice also covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career-related worries.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical support. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, developing coping skills, and planning steps to manage symptoms and stress. She has maintained a private practice for over 20 years in addition to years of work in inpatient, emergency, and outpatient settings.
Segreto has experience with several complex and co-occurring conditions. Her work has included people with chronic pain, chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and co-morbidity. She also notes a sub-specialty in geriatrics and eating disorders.
Her earlier roles included clinical social work in hospital and community agencies in New York, such as Jacobi Hospital and visiting nurse services. That background shaped her approach to crisis and longer-term care. She describes treatment as respectful and formulated for each person’s situation.
To begin, she asks people to select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Barbara Segreto uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her practice. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; this is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood fluctuations. Skills-based methods teach concrete tools such as emotion regulation, stress management, and coping strategies for cravings or intense feelings. These methods help people manage symptoms and carry new habits into daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes reviewing what has and hasn’t worked before and adjusting approaches over time. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify formats here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow work during a lunch break or from another convenient location. Ask about formats when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and daily routines.03
