Brian Zayman, LCSW

Brian Zayman is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. He helps people tackle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and the effects of trauma. Brian works with adults and couples and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused.

Brian draws on 26 years of clinical experience and a Master of Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work in Manhattan. He has worked in many settings and with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, grief, caregiving stress, and the life changes that come with aging and geriatric issues. He also supports people facing issues like body image, attachment struggles, and codependency.

In session he encourages active participation. Clients set goals and check progress as they go. Brian uses a mix of approaches shaped to each person, often combining listening, reflection, and practical steps to try between meetings. He welcomes direct questions and honest conversation about what is and isn’t working.

Brian pays attention to whole-person wellbeing, including physical and spiritual sides of life when relevant. He aims for a calm, accepting space where difficult topics can be brought up without judgment. He sees individuals over 18 and couples and invites people to bring any concern into the room.

If you want a clear, experienced clinician who emphasizes collaboration and real-world coping skills, Brian offers a straightforward way to work through challenges and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to name feelings and decide on next steps. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite unhelpful narratives so different choices feel possible. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now, which can help with recurring relationship or self-esteem struggles.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will review what works and adjust the plan as sessions progress rather than assuming one method will suit every person.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling during a work break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick update is useful, or for regular weekly sessions when steady support is needed. Talk with the therapist about how to arrange sessions that suit your routine and communication preferences.
