Robyn Costanzo , LCSW

Robyn Costanzo helps early and mid career professionals and college students navigate work and personal life with practical support and thoughtful guidance. She began her practice in Union Square and has worked with people ranging from recent NYU graduates to executives in the tech industry, bringing a down-to-earth perspective to the kinds of mood and relationship struggles that arise both at the office and at home.

Robyn has practiced as a licensed social worker in New York since 2006 and holds the LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which reflects advanced training and clinical experience. She launched a private practice in Manhattan in 2009 and expanded services to Westchester County in 2014 before transitioning to a remote model to better accommodate clients with demanding schedules who find in-person visits difficult to manage.

Her clinical background includes roles in major medical centers as well as community based agencies, and she completed an intensive three-year post graduate certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Robyn participates in ongoing supervision and study groups with a focus on relational psychotherapy and has trained extensively in deep therapeutic listening and intervention.

She brings compassion for both common and less typical challenges encountered during this phase of life. Robyn aims to help people breathe more easily, feel more comfortable in their own skin, and reconnect with others, offering steady support for those taking the first steps toward change.

Relational and Psychoanalytic Approaches for Remote Care

Robyn Costanzo draws on relational psychotherapy to explore how patterns in current relationships shape emotions and actions. This approach looks at how interactions with others influence mood, intimacy, and communication and can be helpful for people struggling with relationship and family concerns.

She also uses psychoanalytic psychotherapy training to help clients uncover longer-standing patterns formed early in life. That work emphasizes reflective exploration of recurring themes and internal conflicts and can support deeper understanding of issues such as low mood, anxiety, and identity questions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Robyn works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailors techniques to fit each person rather than applying a single method to everyone. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is on the move. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent support while accommodating clients' time zones, work commitments, and personal routines.
