About Nicholas
Nicholas Masser is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, and addictive behaviors. He brings nine years of professional experience to his practice and emphasizes clients' existing strengths as the foundation for change.
Background and approach
Nicholas views each person as the expert on their own life and works to build practical strategies that fit the realities of daily living.
His approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and motivational techniques to address mood symptoms, coping with life changes, grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and issues related to attention and self-regulation.
He also has experience with concerns that arise alongside chronic illness, blended family dynamics, communication and control struggles, and patterns of codependency or substance use. Nicholas encourages taking the first step and supports clients as they move from decision to action toward their goals.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy pairs well with CBT by teaching present-moment awareness, which can support stress reduction, improved sleep, and emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative method that strengthens readiness for change and can be useful when addressing addictions, ambivalence about treatment, or behavior change goals.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Nicholas works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions, skills practice, and supportive coaching in ways that meet clients where they are and accommodate different communication styles.
