Dr. Joseph Yanni

Dr. Joseph Yanni

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • 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.

Happy patient looking away

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 Garden City

Searching for therapists in Garden City starts with knowing what kind of support and approach fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Garden City therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Garden City is part of a larger Nassau County and Long Island mental health care market, so nearby options may include therapists in Mineola, Hempstead, Stewart Manor, and other surrounding communities. Local availability can vary, which makes virtual therapy a useful way to expand your search beyond the closest office. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, clinical focus, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Garden City can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer in-person or virtual appointments, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists on Long Island, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
