Francesco Aprigliano

Hi, I’m Francesco Aprigliano, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privileges in the state of New York. I work with adults who are facing a range of challenges, including addictive behaviors, anxiety, mood difficulties, depression, stress and anger management, and major life transitions. I understand that everyone’s path is different, and I strive to meet each client with empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to their growth.

In our work together, I aim to create a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe exploring your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for meaningful change, and I take a collaborative, goal-oriented approach to help you move toward greater clarity and well-being. I tailor therapy to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), mindfulness techniques, and harm reduction strategies.

I earned my Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from CUNY Brooklyn College, and I continue to be inspired by the resilience and insight of the clients I work with. If you’re ready to take that next step toward change, I’d be happy to connect and talk about how we can work together!
