Robyn Costanzo, LCSW

Robyn Costanzo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who specializes in supporting early and mid-career professionals as well as college students navigating work and personal life challenges. She built her practice in Union Square, working with a range of clients from recent NYU graduates to executives in the technology sector and others across the diverse New York landscape. When mood or relationships create obstacles at the office or at home, Robyn offers a relatable, experienced professional perspective to help clients explore concerns and find more ease.

Robyn has practiced as a licensed social worker in New York state since 2006 and opened a private practice in Manhattan in 2009, later expanding services to Westchester County in 2014. She transitioned to a remote model to better accommodate clients whose demanding schedules made in-office appointments difficult. Robyn engages in ongoing supervision and study groups with a focus on relational psychotherapy, and her clinical background spans major medical facilities and community-based agencies. She completed an intensive three-year post-graduate certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and trained extensively in deep therapeutic listening and intervention. Robyn brings compassion for the common and less typical struggles of this life stage and aims to help clients breathe easier, feel more comfortable in their own skin, and build stronger connections with others. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but Robyn seeks to make the start of therapy feel like relief knowing help is available.

Relational and Psychoanalytic Approaches for Online Therapy

Robyn uses relational psychotherapy to focus on how patterns in current relationships affect feelings and behavior. This approach emphasizes understanding the give-and-take of interactions and can be helpful for people dealing with work and romantic relationship stresses, family dynamics, or challenges with intimacy and connection.

She also draws on psychoanalytic psychotherapy training, which centers on listening deeply to uncover recurring themes and internal conflicts that influence mood and decision making. That work can assist clients who want to explore long-standing patterns, grief, or the roots of anxiety and low self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Robyn works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, adjusting techniques over time to find the best therapeutic fit.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule support around busy workdays or school commitments. These formats enable ongoing care for clients who travel, work irregular hours, or prefer remote sessions, while preserving the continuity of the therapeutic relationship with licensed professionals and therapists.
