About Me

Barbara Piehler, LCSW

Welcome! I am a NY & CT Licensed Psychotherapist offering Telehealth appointments in the comfort of your own space. I received my MSW from Fordham University and have experience working with individuals, groups, and families. My primary focus right now is working with adults (ages 18-64) who struggle with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-esteem, often feeling disconnected from their own needs while trying to meet the expectations of others.

15-Minute
Consultations

I know how important it is to connect with the right therapist. I offer free 15-minute consultations so I can learn a little more about you and your unique needs. This is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.

Areas of Focus & Modalities

Anxiety

Perfectionism

Difficulty feeling secure in relationships

Self-esteem/Body Image

People Pleasing

Difficulty with boundary setting

I offer a warm and deeply attuned space where you can explore these patterns with compassion rather than judgment. My approach is relational and grounded in attachment theory and ACT. Together, we’ll look at how your early experiences shaped the way you show up in relationships today and how you can begin to respond with more clarity, confidence, and self‑trust.

Individual Therapy

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I aim to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged. During our first few sessions, we'll get to know each other, explore what's bringing you to therapy, and begin identifying the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself. Progress isn't about becoming a different person; it's about understanding yourself with greater compassion, feeling less stuck, and responding to life's challenges in ways that align with who you want to be.
