About Vincent
Vincent Primiano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with ten years of post-graduate experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar concerns, anger, relationship and family challenges, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, ADHD and related issues.
He has worked across addiction services and mental health systems. His background includes outpatient clinics, inpatient addiction programs, inpatient psychiatric centers, the prison system, and an Assertive Community Treatment team. That mix gives him practical experience with both crisis-oriented and longer term needs.
In sessions he uses straightforward methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness. He helps people learn skills for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and making choices that match their values.
Clients can expect clear, task-focused work alongside space to talk through the situation. He often emphasizes skills practice, habit changes, and short-term strategies people can use between sessions. He also works on longer-term patterns like attachment or codependency that fuel anger and relationship strain.
With experience in both addiction and psychiatric settings, he brings a practical orientation to complicated or co-occurring problems. People who want concrete tools for handling frustration, recovering from setbacks, or changing behavior often seek him out.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or conflicted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce reactive habits and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy supports building attention and noticing emotional triggers before they escalate.Figuring out the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try approaches that suit those goals. Adjustments are made as skills are learned and priorities change, so the method evolves with the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills between sessions in their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and mindfulness exercises to work well in remote appointments when that format is chosen.
