Christine Anselmo

Psychologist

Virtual • Hampton Bays, NY


I believe therapy works best when people feel safe, understood, and respected. I strive to create a warm and supportive space where clients can talk openly about what they are going through without fear of judgment. I approach my work with compassion, curiosity, and genuine care.

I work with children and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. I also believe that perspective matters—sometimes a difficult day is just that, a day—and I try to bring warmth, mindfulness, and a bit of humor into the process to help keep things grounded and manageable.

It takes a lot of courage to make positive changes in your life and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. You need someone who you can trust, who will partner with you to provide an accepting, honest and challenging therapeutic environment so you can build your ‘emotional muscles’ to create better relationships and a more satisfying and joyful life.


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings including agencies and EAP's in addition to my private practice. Those environments have shown me that while our own histories and circumstances are unique, we all have a common need to feel safe and respected in therapy. It is hard work to look at your life, recognize what you want to change, and then make choices that may feel uncomfortable but are needed to grow and thrive.


I have helped individuals, couples and families who were struggling with anxiety, depression, partner and family issues, trauma, substance abuse and more. I am dedicated to helping my clients tap into their resilience and create new choices so they can get unstuck from negative patterns.


Whether you choose me or another therapist, congratulations on seeking therapy--you made a courageous decision and it will benefit you greatly.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in New York

Searching for therapists in New York means choosing from a wide range of licensed professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas. Your options may vary depending on where you live, what kind of support you want, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, start by looking for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Location and schedule matter, too. A therapist in New York City may offer different appointment options than one in Buffalo, Albany, or the Hudson Valley, and virtual therapy can help broaden your search beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer free phone consultations, and how they describe their session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates, what they focus on, and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.

The cost of mental health care in New York varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps make that process easier by showing therapists who are accepting new patients, verifying your insurance, and estimating your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and specific plan. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
