Meet the Professional
Carol Pironi, LCSW
Westchester, NY Therapist
I am a licensed professional and have extensive experience assisting people with getting the help they need to create sustainable change towards a happier, healthier lifestyle. I take a compassionate, caring approach with realistic, honest insights and work collaboratively to address the psychological issues at hand.
Every patient is unique, and I apply a custom approach that works to meet your goals and address your issues.
Covid Update
Presently, I’m seeing patients in my office as well as continuing phone and teletherapy when preferred. Proof of vaccination is required for in-office appointments.
No. I find that the best way to help partners improve their relationships is through a combination of individual and couples sessions. Individually, I will help you and your partner focus on the changes that you each need to make. During couples sessions, I will assist you in putting these changes into practice.
I understand that things come up, so you can cancel or reschedule your appointment with at least 24 hours’ notice. If it’s less than 24 hours’ notice, you will be charged for the appointment.
People experience all sorts of problems: low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, job conflicts, isolation, grief and loss, marital stress, relationship difficulties, challenges with raising children or an empty nest, or any number of other hardships. At times, these difficulties can seriously impact your happiness or the quality of your life. When this happens, it’s a good time to start looking for a therapist or counselor.
Individual sessions are $125 for a standard 50-minute session. I also offer longer sessions when appropriate, and often encourage couples to attend 80-minute sessions whenever possible.
For couples who are motivated to make a change, therapy will allow you to learn many things. These are some examples:
- Learn how to better negotiate and collaborate so that you both “win” rather than both “lose”
- Improve the ability to communicate with each other, without losing your temper
- Become more aware of parent/child relationships that negatively impact your happiness as a couple
- Learn how to identify a low-level fighting process
- Learn new concepts and tools to assist you in learning how to have productive disagreements
- Talk about difficult issues rather than sweeping them under the rug
- Become aware of the process that you use (tone of voice, etc.) when communicating with each other
- Be more respect worthy towards each other, no matter which direction the relationship moves forward in
And many more things that will not only have a positive impact on your relationship with your partner but will also help you in the other personal relationships you establish at home and away from home.
“Since starting to work with Carol, the communication with my husband has really improved. I feel much more hopeful about our marriage and am enjoying life a lot more.”
“My collaboration with Carol has been the most valuable “work” of my life. This has been life-altering, and the most important thing I could have decided to do for myself.”
“Working with Carol has helped me strengthen my self concept and break down barriers that have held me back for years. I owe so much of my success to her.”
“I’ve been in therapy on and off for most of my life and this is the first time that I am making lasting progress. With Carol’s help, I am able to see the cause of my anxiety and depression.”
“Carol has given me the tools I need to fight against the negative thinking. As I continue to work on myself, life has become easier and less overwhelming. I am able to fully enjoy the good days and have all the support I need for the bad ones.”
