About Myrna
Myrna Diptee helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and career concerns. She also supports those facing major life changes and struggles with motivation and confidence. Myrna introduces calm, practical steps so people can start feeling steadier again.
Myrna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, with 23 years of professional experience in New York. She takes a respectful and compassionate approach in sessions. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed script.
Background and approach
In the first meetings she focuses on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable changes. She listens for patterns that may be keeping someone stuck, such as attachment worries, abandonment fears, or isolation. From there she helps build coping strategies for day-to-day life and for stressful moments.
Her work also covers caregiving stress, blended family challenges, commitment concerns, and recovery after traumatic events. She pays attention to multicultural factors and to issues like seasonal mood shifts and social anxiety. Myrna aims to empower people to speak honestly about their goals and to try new ways of coping.
She adjusts the pace and focus as people make progress. For many, therapy becomes a place to practice clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and stronger self-regard.
How therapeutic techniques translate to online care
Many of Myrna's approaches focus on practical tools and clear thinking. One common way is to identify unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviors and replace them with small, doable changes that reduce stress and build confidence. This helps with anxiety, low self-worth, and motivation problems. Another strand of her work centers on coping skills for grief, trauma, and life transitions - teaching grounding, pacing, and realistic planning so strong emotions feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Myrna works collaboratively to decide what fits each person's goals and preferences. She listens to what has or hasn't helped before and adjusts techniques as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
