About Myrna
Myrna Diptee is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. She also supports those coping with grief, life changes, and career setbacks. Her manner is respectful, sensitive, and compassionate, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward change.
In sessions she listens closely and builds a plan that fits each person's needs. Conversations are tailored to the client rather than following a fixed script. She focuses on practical steps that can help with confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. Issues like attachment concerns, abandonment, and blended family dynamics are part of the work she can address.
Myrna also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, commitment questions, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She works with those affected by post-traumatic stress and seasonal affective disorder. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among her focus areas for people seeking help after disruptive events.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that aims to empower them to make changes. The therapist frames progress as a series of small, achievable steps. She adapts conversations and plans as needs evolve over time.
Her practice recognizes multicultural concerns and life purpose questions as part of a person’s story. For people facing midlife transitions or struggles with forgiveness and self-love, she brings steady support and practical guidance.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Two evidence-based approaches she uses are brief, practical techniques for managing symptoms and collaborative problem solving. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and then trying new ways of responding to stress and anxiety; this helps with everyday worry, social anxiety, and low mood. Another approach centers on processing loss and grief through guided conversations and step-by-step coping strategies to help people tolerate strong emotions and rebuild routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and real-life needs. She adapts the plan over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and less travel time, which can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week. Online options can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and they can help people connect with a licensed professional from wherever they are located. Because session formats were not specified in the original information, confirm available online and in-person options before booking so arrangements match your needs and routine.
