Geraldine Nisi

Geraldine Nisi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She is known to work with issues around self-esteem, parenting, intimacy, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Gerri speaks English and Italian and practices in New York.

She offers a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. She partners with clients to set clear goals and uses practical tools during appointments. Sessions focus on what a person can do next, not on long explanations alone.

Geraldine draws mainly on cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical skills to help people change unhelpful thinking and learn coping tools. She also uses client-centered listening and solution-focused steps to keep work grounded and goal-directed. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people facing difficult changes.

Her background includes work across schools, hospitals, and community mental health clinics over 25 years. That range informs a flexible approach that fits different life stages and challenges. Geraldine keeps sessions collaborative and oriented to daily life so goals can be practiced between meetings.

People who choose her can expect an empathic but active clinician who helps identify small, doable changes. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning, managing strong emotions like anger, and rebuilding routines that support longer-term goals. She invites potential clients to discuss practical next steps.

How Geraldine’s approaches translate to online work

Geraldine uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding to stress and anger. CBT is practical and often involves homework such as tracking triggers and trying small behavior changes between sessions.

She also relies on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are useful when emotions feel intense and when better coping tools are needed for everyday interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Geraldine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. She adapts strategies as progress and needs change so sessions stay relevant.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that can be a daily barrier. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and the format that best fits your routine.
