Rachel Liu

Rachel Liu

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming life experiences. I provide therapy in both English and Mandarin and enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural and bicultural backgrounds.

I have a particular interest in understanding how early experiences can shape the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and respond to stress in the present. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, or feeling overwhelmed even when things may look okay from the outside.

I approach therapy with warmth, authenticity, and deep respect for each client’s story. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported as you develop greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and new ways of responding to the challenges in your life.

Dr. Joseph Yanni

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Scarsdale, NY


I’m Dr. Joseph Yanni, a licensed psychologist who works with teenagers, college students, young adults, adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, school and college stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I earned my Psy.D. in School Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and continue to work as a school psychologist, supporting students with emotional disabilities in a specialized educational setting. This experience has given me a practical understanding of how emotional, academic, social, family, and developmental concerns often overlap.

I use a collaborative, practical, and integrative approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic and person-centered therapy, behavioral strategies, and lifestyle-based interventions. I believe therapy should be individualized rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we work to better understand what is contributing to the concern, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and develop realistic strategies that create meaningful change.

I work especially well with teenagers, college students, young adults, and parents navigating the transition from adolescence into adulthood, while also supporting adults and families facing anxiety, relationship concerns, and other important life challenges. I provide in-person therapy in Scarsdale and Pleasantville, along with virtual therapy throughout New York State.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Albany

Searching for therapists in Albany starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Albany therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and background fit your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Albany, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. Some people prefer in-person sessions near Downtown, Arbor Hill, South End, or nearby areas, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule flexibility. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates and whether their style seems like a good fit.

Therapy in Albany can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for Albany therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare bios, filter by your preferences, and book directly when you’re ready.
