Brian Zayman, LCSW

Brian Zayman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of experience. He offers a calm, straightforward approach and invites people to set their own goals. He works with adults and couples on issues like depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, and addictions.

Brian focuses on practical skills that help people feel steadier day to day. He encourages active participation in sessions so clients can measure progress and shape the work. He pays attention to emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of life when that matters to the person in front of him.

His background includes a Master’s in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan and long experience across multiple settings. Over time he has blended techniques from several methods to meet individual needs rather than using a single formula. That mix is used to help people improve coping, mood, problem solving, and decision making.

Sessions are informal and direct. Brian welcomes hard questions and topics that feel uncomfortable to talk about. He aims to create an accepting space where people can test new ways of thinking and behaving.

People who choose him often want a therapist who listens closely, offers perspective, and helps them move forward through clear goals. He sees people over 18 and works with couples who want to address relationship concerns.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. It helps people who need acceptance and reflection to build confidence and solve personal problems.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and how past relationships affect present choices. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways and reduce repeating struggles.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel and allowing appointments during varied parts of the day. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins or meetings that do not require video when that helps with focus or bandwidth. Because this profile does not specify exact session formats, confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking so you can pick what works best for your schedule and needs.
