About Nadly
Nadly Thompson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and related life changes. Nadly also addresses concerns such as body image, grief, relationship strain, and guilt and shame.
In session she favors straightforward conversation and practical tools. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's concerns, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when helpful. That can mean using thought records, behavior experiments, or skills for managing intense emotions.
She helps people talk through motivation and confidence struggles, including work and career crossroads. Nadly also supports people facing substance and process addictions, eating and food-related issues, and postpartum or mood-related difficulties. Concerns tied to identity, including LGBT matters, are part of her practice focus.
When guilt or shame is present, sessions usually name those feelings and look at the beliefs that keep them going. Conversations can include practice exercises, reality-testing painful thoughts, and building safer ways to cope. The aim is to make feelings more understandable and more manageable in day-to-day life.
Her approach is collaborative: clients and Nadly work together to shape goals and steps. She uses clear tools and short-term strategies when they fit, and slower-paced work when that makes sense. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site matching flow before scheduling a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to respond to the issues the client brings up most. CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses exercises like thought records and behavior experiments to test unhelpful beliefs. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship challenges.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Nadly will discuss goals, previous experiences with therapy, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether short-term CBT techniques, DBT skills training, or a client-centered emphasis will be the best fit for the current goals.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats directly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency and make it simpler to apply skills between meetings.
