About Nadly

Nadly Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who draws on a client-centered framework and evidence-based strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, she focuses on building respectful, sensitive therapeutic relationships and tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Her work also addresses a broad range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, eating and body image concerns, mood and personality disorders, and career or life-purpose questions.

Thompson integrates practical skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support coping with life changes, process and substance addictions, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes motivation, self-love, and rebuilding confidence while also offering coaching-oriented support for goals such as career shifts or recovery from addictive patterns.

Nadly approaches each client with sensitivity and compassion and collaborates to develop a plan that fits the individual’s circumstances and goals.

CBT and Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Thompson uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills development. She also draws on client-centered principles that prioritize listening, empathy, and collaboration so that the work is shaped around the client's values and goals. When helpful, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are incorporated to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Thompson engages clients collaboratively to choose techniques that match their needs, preferences, and goals. She frames treatment as a joint effort, adjusting methods over time to reflect progress and changing priorities so that plans remain relevant and useful.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access consistent care without geographic constraints within the therapist's practice area, support varied communication styles, and accommodate changes in availability or daily routines.
