About Adam

LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 30 years of experience, based in New York. Adam Chaiken works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting issues, and depression. He also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic attacks, paranoia, phobias, and social anxiety. Adam speaks English and practices from a clinical social work perspective.

Adam talks with people about what they are struggling with now and what matters most to them. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps. He looks for strengths people can use to manage symptoms and improve daily life. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

In sessions he helps people sort through relationship patterns and communication problems. For parenting and family stress he focuses on clear strategies and problem solving. When anxiety or panic arise the attention is on immediate coping tools and understanding triggers.

Adam has a long career in social work and brings that experience to common life challenges. He aims to clarify goals, try small changes, and check what is working. His approach is direct and practical rather than abstract.

For someone weighing therapy, he frames the process as regular conversations with focused aims. Prospective clients choose an online therapy option, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.

How his approaches translate to remote sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can mean focused, measurable methods. For anxiety and panic he often uses practical coping strategies that teach breathing, grounding, and short behavior changes to reduce symptoms in the moment. For relationship and communication problems he emphasizes role-based practice and clearer interaction patterns so people can try different ways of talking and responding.

Finding the right approach is worked out together. He will review what a person wants to change and suggest methods that fit those goals. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most in weekly conversations.

Confirm available session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into busy schedules, such as shorter check-ins at lunch or avoiding travel time. Remote work can also make it easier to continue regular sessions during periods when getting to an office is difficult. Licensed professionals generally use a range of approaches in online sessions to keep work focused and actionable.
