About Todd
Todd Bater is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Reissued (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and anger. Sessions are delivered in English and aimed at practical ways to manage everyday problems.
He focuses on real-life difficulties such as social isolation and communication problems. He also helps people facing divorce and separation, issues tied to family of origin, and the strain of first responder or veteran experiences. Impulsivity, mood problems, and questions about life purpose are part of his caseload as well.
Todd offers a progressive, non-religious approach and states an intention to be affirming toward LGBTQ+ clients. In sessions he emphasizes clearer communication and building emotional awareness rather than labels or judgments. The work tends to be direct and results-oriented, with room for exploring history when it helps current behavior.
He aims to help people develop practical skills for handling anger and frustration, improving conversations with others, and reducing chronic stress. That can include learning new ways to notice triggers, practicing short behavioral changes, and rehearsing different responses to heated moments. He connects these skills to larger goals like better relationships or steadier mood.
People who choose him are usually looking for straightforward guidance and skill-building. To get started, the platform process asks for a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling of a first session.
Approaches used and what online sessions aim to do
Todd uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills training that teaches concrete actions for managing anger, stress, or impulsivity - techniques such as noticing triggers, pacing responses, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. This helps with workplace frustration, family interactions, and heated moments.He also draws on problem-focused therapy that looks at specific patterns in relationships and communication. That work targets clearer expression, setting boundaries, and repairing misunderstandings so daily interactions become less reactive and more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on the client’s goals, history, and what feels workable. The process is collaborative and practical rather than theoretical.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography did not list formats. If you proceed through the platform, the intake will outline available session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove commute time so people can focus energy on skill practice and applied behavioral work.
