About Todd
Todd Bater is a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience in New York. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, and relationship concerns. He aims to create a progressive, non-religious space where clients can talk honestly about what matters to them.
He works with clients who feel isolated or stuck and those facing challenges at work or in personal relationships. He helps people who struggle with communication problems, life direction, and midlife questions. First responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, and intellectual or developmental differences are also within his stated focus areas.
Todd’s practice emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions. He guides clients toward clearer communication, steadier mood management, and small behavior changes that reduce daily stress. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
He describes his approach as compassionate and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. He aims to help clients build resilience and stronger self-understanding over time. He also notes a commitment to an affirming environment for LGBTQ+ people.
For people looking for work and wellbeing support, he connects emotional concerns to workplace stress and life purpose questions. The site’s booking flow is used to begin the match process and schedule sessions based on his availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Todd works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. For example, approaches that focus on communication skills teach concrete ways to speak and listen differently so conversations cause less conflict. Techniques aimed at mood and anxiety help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that reduce daily worry and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each client and pick methods together based on the person’s goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needed.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family life and the ability to fit sessions into a regular routine. Online work can make it simpler to keep shorter check-ins during busy weeks or choose session times that reduce travel. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure the format offered fits your needs.
