Find a therapist in Utica, NY — covered by insurance

Hi! Thanks for viewing my profile, I am an LCSW in NYS and have been in the human services field for nearly 10 years and a licensed provider (LMSW) since 2019 earning my LCSW in 2023. Prior to licensure, I worked as an outpatient substance abuse counselor and case planner in foster care. I value the ability to hold space for others through their journey whether it is a life adjustment/change, trauma, anxiety or depression.

Great to meet you. My name is Beth , I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic medical conditions, Substance Use, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and relationship problems.

I very much like to utilize an educational, interactive, positive and holistic approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance and harmony in your life and it starts with improving self-reflection, self-esteem and proactive self-care. I take a person centered approach, allowing you to take charge of your goals for health.

Therapeutic Rapport building is what we will establish and I want to hear your story and really get to know you.

I received my education and trainings through SUNY Stony Brook, Pratt Institute and the CHA in affiliation with Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry. I also have additional trainings through SUNY Albany and John Hopkins University School of Public Health. I provide office services and TeleHealth. I do not prescribe medication‘s. I use a variety of evidence based practices and treatment methods and modalities, and a full psychological history is captured and analyzed. At times I also utilize psychological testing and collateral contacts for further exploration and understanding to best treat your symptoms and needs.

You've been carrying a lot — and you've probably been doing it alone for longer than

you'd like to admit. Maybe it's anxiety that follows you into every room, grief that

never fully lifted, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or trauma that keeps finding its

way back. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to untangle it by yourself.

I'm Rita Sionova, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience

working with adults, adolescents, and families across New York. I specialize in

trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, and the kind of life

transitions that reshape everything you thought you knew about yourself. My

background spans healthcare, legal, and educational settings — which means I

understand the full weight of the real-world pressures, not just the clinical picture.

I offer therapy in both English and Russian, and I provide culturally responsive

care for clients navigating immigrant experiences, generational patterns, and the

particular challenges that come with living between two worlds. All sessions are via

tele-health, available to clients across New York State.
