About Christopher
Christopher Piccininni is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of practice in New York. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions or life transitions. Christopher aims to make the first step feel manageable and respects how hard it can be to ask for support.
He commonly helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. He also supports those dealing with family tensions, communication problems, guilt and shame, men’s issues, midlife concerns, and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at understanding what’s driving distress and building clearer ways to cope. Christopher keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He encourages people to name what they’re feeling and to try small changes that can reduce daily pressure.
He listens for patterns that feed anger or anxiety and works with clients to test new responses in real life. The approach is collaborative. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Christopher helps clients notice small shifts that add up to better mood, clearer thinking, and fewer intense reactions. He offers practical tools for calmer thinking and steadier behavior. People who want a therapist who talks plainly, sets concrete goals, and focuses on usable skills may find his style a good match.

Everything Christopher lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Christopher's practice.
Approaches and online sessions that focus on clear, usable skills
Christopher uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or anger and then practice small, realistic ways to respond differently. This kind of work aims to reduce intense reactions and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments - trying new responses in real life, then reviewing what worked and what didn’t to refine skills for managing stress and mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. He talks with each person about what they want to change and which methods feel realistic for their life. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and working through reactions in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between longer sessions and can help people stay connected to strategies as they practice them.
