About Talib
Talib El is a licensed mental health counselor with 16 years of experience in New York. He focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety, manage anger, and build self-esteem. He speaks plainly and offers steady support when life feels overwhelming.
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape conversations and goals. Sessions are tailored to each person's situation rather than following one set plan. That means talking through what is causing distress and trying concrete strategies that can be used between appointments.
Background and approach
Many people come with trauma, abuse histories, or mood symptoms. He helps people handle painful memories, manage strong emotions, and improve everyday coping skills. He also addresses issues like communication problems, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation.
Clients who are facing life changes or low motivation can work on small steps to regain momentum. He supports people as they practice new habits and notice gradual improvements. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The aim is to find approaches that fit the person's goals and day-to-day life.
What Talib works with
Everything Talib lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Talib's practice.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Talib uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, actionable steps. One common approach helps people identify thought and behavior patterns that make stress and anxiety worse, then practices alternatives to break those cycles. This method is useful for mood concerns, worry, and low motivation.Another approach works with emotions and memories after trauma or abuse, teaching grounding and regulation skills to reduce overwhelm and increase stability. Those tools are aimed at helping people tolerate strong feelings and regain control over daily routines.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting pacing and focus as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be a good alternative when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging works well for ongoing, short-form support between sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to attend around work, family, and other commitments.
