About Anastasia
Anastasia Przybyla is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and identity questions. She also supports clients dealing with parenting challenges, eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, trauma, and ADHD. Anastasia focuses on building self-compassion and clearer communication so everyday life feels more manageable.
She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful memories and current struggles. Sessions emphasize practical skills and small steps that make a real difference between meetings.
Background and approach
Anastasia blends listening with tangible strategies tailored to each person. Her work draws on client-centered therapy to keep the client’s goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. Anastasia also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address communication and connection issues in relationships, and Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. She adapts these methods depending on what a person needs that day.
With five years of clinical experience, Anastasia has supported people from a range of backgrounds, including many in the LGBT community. She aims to help people gain self-understanding and tools to handle life transitions and ongoing stressors. People who work with her typically leave sessions with clearer next steps and practiceable skills.
Her approach balances empathy with structure, focusing on progress rather than perfection.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and lived experience, giving space to be heard and understood. It helps people clarify what matters most and make choices that fit their values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by offering concrete exercises to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving self-control. It often includes techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy with Anastasia can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer to write, want regular brief touchpoints, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life changes.
