Josephine Ovalles, LCSW

Josephine Ovalles is an LCSW licensed in New York with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and related issues. Josephine conducts therapy in English and Spanish and helps people who are juggling intense emotions and everyday responsibilities.

She frames work in practical terms. Sessions focus on immediate problems and skills people can use between meetings. She draws on methods that address thoughts, emotions, and behavior so clients can notice patterns and try new responses. Conversations are straightforward and action-oriented while also attending to feelings behind behaviors.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). That mix lets her shift strategies when a client needs coping skills, values-focused goals, or help with relationship patterns. Sessions may include skill practice, behavior experiments, and reflection on attachment and communication.

Josephine’s background includes clinical roles in hospital and community settings and supervisory work. She has experience with substance use concerns, chronic illness, immigration-related stress, and aging issues. That experience informs how she adapts interventions for people with complicated life circumstances.

People seeking help with parenting stress, conflict with a partner, or complex mood and trauma-related symptoms will find an approach that addresses both practical steps and underlying relationship patterns. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
