About Vincent
Vincent Primiano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of experience. He works with adults on problems such as anger, stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. He also addresses sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and issues tied to trauma and abuse.
He has worked across settings that include outpatient clinics, inpatient addiction programs, and inpatient psychiatric centers. His background also includes work in the prison system and on an Assertive Community Treatment team. That range has shaped how he approaches practical problems and crisis situations.
In sessions he uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered principles guide how he listens and sets goals with each person.
His addiction experience comes from work with OASAS programs, and his mental health work includes services under OMH. Those roles involved helping people manage co-occurring conditions such as substance use and mood disorders. He is familiar with the day-to-day challenges people face when balancing treatment with work and family demands.
People who contact him can expect direct, practical conversations about what is and isn’t working. He asks about concrete goals, suggests behavioral experiments, and practices skills in session. Sessions are collaborative and aim to produce changes that carry into everyday life.
How his therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can help with anger that stems from stuck patterns or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests new behaviors to shift outcomes. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, and mood challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that many people find helpful when anger or strong emotions come up.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. The first sessions are often focused on practical problems, clear goals, and trying a few skill-based exercises together.
