About Todd
Todd Bater is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) practicing in New York with 18 years of experience. He focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, and stress. He also works with issues such as social isolation, communication problems, and concerns rooted in one’s family of origin.
He helps people untangle patterns that started in the family they grew up in and still affect adult life. Sessions often look at how roles, expectations, and communication from childhood show up now. He also supports people dealing with separation, infidelity, and midlife transitions.
In sessions he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people name what’s happening and try different ways of responding. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. He helps clients practice clearer communication, set boundaries, and manage intense emotions.
Todd has worked with veterans, first responders, and men navigating life purpose and identity questions. He also supports people with intellectual disability, autism or Asperger syndrome, and those coping with loneliness or mood concerns.
He offers a non-religious, affirming approach for LGBTQ+ clients and for anyone seeking a progressive therapeutic setting. People interested in starting are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see if the fit feels right.
How therapeutic methods shape online work
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. These approaches teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, improving mood, and handling intense emotions, useful for stress, depression, and mood concerns.He also uses approaches that highlight communication and relationship patterns. These methods help people recognize repeated family roles, practice new ways of speaking, and set clearer boundaries in current relationships. That practical focus can be helpful for family of origin issues, conflict, and intimacy concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust as needed based on what works in regular sessions.
