John Handel is a New York-based therapist with 13 years of professional experience helping people address stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
He is licensed to practice clinical social work in New York; his credential is LCSW 099151, which indicates his state licensure to provide clinical services.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and if a different match is desired at any time, clients have the option to switch to another therapist. Online therapy can offer an accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns while maintaining the same professional standards as in-person care.
