Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the treatment of a wide array of mental health difficulties. People come to me with relationship problems, work issues, stress and other life challenges. In addition, I see individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma and other more serious disorders. I bring warmth, intelligence and an easy going manner to everyone I see. Reach out and let's see if I'm the right fit for you.
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.
I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Melville, NY
Searching for therapists in Melville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Therapists may work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience fit what you want to focus on. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or another style of care.
Melville is part of the broader Huntington and Long Island therapy market, so local options may be more limited than in larger New York City areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Melville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates. You can browse therapists in Melville and nearby Long Island communities, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
