I am Orin Willner, and have been a social worker for 25+ years, and an LCSW in New York City for most of them. Prior to this career, I worked in the corporate arena, earning an MBA, which I use regularly for assisting my clients establish a strategy for achieving their goals. I use a combination of psychodynamic techniques and modalities, depending on the needs of the individual. If we don't set goals, we most likely don't achieve them, but the hardest part is often articulating what we want, or where things tend to go awry, and we just need some assistance looking at these things clearly or objectively. My experience in different settings with varying populations (children with disabilities, memory issues, assisted living residents, adults in early recovery, EAP/employment issues) means I can easily adapt to provide the necessary services to benefit most clients, while keeping the focus on the individual.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, ADHD, Chronic pain, illness, and disability, Drug and alcohol addiction, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Traumatic brain injury
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing

Orin is professional, personable and is a great listener. She has been a good sounding board when I needed to express my feelings and concerns. I feel comfortable talking to her. She has made my first try at therapy a pleasant one.
