About Maryjo
LCSW-R in New York with 30 years of clinical experience, Maryjo Proietta Halpern focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She blends talk therapy with elements drawn from yoga practice to support clients who want practical tools for coping and reflection.
Halpern uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative ideas, and psychodynamic thinking. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and behavior, then helps people try small changes that can alter those patterns over time. She describes yoga-informed practices as one additional resource for grounding and self-awareness.
She often addresses attachment issues, communication problems, control struggles, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Other areas she attends to are forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose questions, and social anxiety or phobia. Post-traumatic stress and recovery after abuse are also noted concerns in her practice.
Over three decades she has worked in settings that informed her clinical judgement and skills. Her LCSW-R credential is held in New York. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

How attachment, client-centered work, and CBT translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how past connections shape current expectations. In online sessions this can mean talking through recurring interaction patterns and trying new ways of responding to others.Client-centered therapy centers the person’s perspective and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify what a client wants to change. Online meetings can preserve that conversational focus while allowing for practical check-ins between sessions.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT adapts well to remote sessions because homework, tracking, and brief skill practices can be assigned and reviewed digitally.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions often focus on identifying priorities and testing what feels useful.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits help people keep consistent momentum without promising a specific outcome.
