Professional statement

When navigating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or grief, even daily routines can start to feel overwhelming. Many individuals seek therapy to regain focus, emotional balance, and a sense of control in their lives—without the added stress of dealing with insurance barriers.

Goldie Gotesman, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy for adults in New York, New Jersey, and Florida. Goldie specializes in treating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and grief using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Goldie's therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, with an emphasis on building practical tools that lead to sustainable, long-term growth.

Many clients choose to pay privately for the increased privacy, flexibility, and simplicity it offers. A free 15-minute consultation for prospective clients—a no-pressure space to ask questions, learn more about her approach, and determine whether the therapeutic relationship is a good fit.


Message to clients

Before we begin our work together, I want you to know that I’m here to support you every step of the way as you move toward your goals. Our sessions will be a collaborative space where we focus on reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. My hope is that through this process, you'll begin to feel more empowered, more grounded, and more connected—with yourself and with others.

In our time together, we’ll work on practical strategies to help you manage emotions, navigate relationships, and respond to stress with greater awareness and intention. I take a compassionate, strengths-based approach that emphasizes resilience and self-acceptance. This isn’t about fixing you—because you’re not broken—but about helping you uncover the tools and insight you already carry to live with more ease and clarity.

My hope for you is that this work not only brings relief, but also helps you build a deeper, more trusting relationship with yourself. Change doesn’t always happen overnight, but with consistency and openness, real transformation is possible—and I’ll be here to walk with you through it.
