Professional statement

Loren O’Neil, LCSW, is a psychotherapist in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, who works with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity concerns, life transitions, and trauma. She offers both in-person and virtual sessions and is deeply committed to creating a warm, collaborative space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered. Loren works with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including creatives, professionals, fellow therapists, and parents seeking greater clarity and emotional resilience.

Loren integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed approaches. In sessions, clients can expect a grounded and compassionate style that balances deep internal exploration with actionable skills. Loren helps clients unblend from reactive patterns, understand the protective strategies they’ve relied on, and build a more spacious, empowered relationship with their emotions. Her approach is collaborative and attuned, offering both insight and practical guidance.

Loren has extensive experience in private practice and maintains advanced clinical training in IFS and integrative trauma modalities. Before launching her full-time practice, she worked across a range of clinical settings supporting individuals through acute and long-term challenges. Loren brings a steady, thoughtful presence to her work, guided by a belief in each client’s inherent capacity for healing, connection, and change.


Message to clients

I want my clients to know that therapy with me is a collaborative, compassionate space. You don’t need to show up perfect, prepared, or with the “right” words — just as you are. My hope is that our work helps you feel more connected to yourself, more able to understand your patterns with clarity and kindness, and more empowered to make choices that truly align with who you are.

In our sessions, we move at a pace that feels safe and supportive. I’ll help you understand the parts of you that carry fear, pressure, or judgment, and we’ll work together to give those parts room to soften. My role is to offer grounded presence, gentle honesty, and practical tools so that you can navigate your life with greater confidence and self-trust.

Above all, I want you to feel that therapy is a place where you don’t have to hold everything alone. You deserve support, insight, and space to grow — and I’m honored to be part of that process with you.
