About Anastasia

Anastasia Przybyla is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, eating concerns, ADHD, and a range of related challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes building self-compassion and clearer communication while helping clients navigate life transitions, career stress, parenting strains, and identity-related concerns, including work with LGBTQ individuals. Her practice blends evidence-informed methods to create tailored strategies that support resilience and personal growth.

Anastasia draws on therapeutic perspectives such as Internal Family Systems, client-centered techniques, CBT, DBT skills, and emotionally-focused tools to address attachment wounds, abandonment themes, body image, chronic health impacts, dissociation, and interpersonal conflict. She aims to foster an affirming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their histories, identify patterns, and practice new ways of relating.

With five years of clinical experience, Anastasia integrates collaborative goal-setting and practical skills with attention to emotional processing. Prospective clients will find a pragmatic yet compassionate approach that balances symptom-focused interventions with deeper relational work to support meaningful change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps clients notice and relate to different parts of themselves - for example protective, anxious, or wounded parts - so they can understand internal conflicts and cultivate self-leadership. This approach can be useful for trauma recovery, identity questions, and persistent patterns of self-criticism.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace; it supports growth by prioritizing the client’s experience and autonomy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and may combine elements from different modalities to match the client’s needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan evolves as therapy progresses.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to schedule appointments and maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances change. These options provide flexibility in communication style and pacing, allowing clients to choose what feels most accessible while working with a licensed professional toward their goals.
