David Vaccaro, LCSW

David Vaccaro, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a practice grounded in multiple evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, mood concerns, trauma, substance use, and relationship difficulties. He works with adolescents, adults, and older adults, addressing issues that include depression, anxiety and panic, self-esteem struggles, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and the effects of trauma and abuse. His clinical repertoire includes client-centered therapy, trauma-focused therapies (TFCBT), mindfulness-based methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused strategies, crisis counseling, and work with brain injury-related challenges.

In addition to traditional mental health treatment, he offers mindfulness-based sobriety approaches and harm reduction counseling for substance use concerns. His background in psychology at the undergraduate level and advanced training in mental health social work inform a practical, compassionate style that emphasizes collaboration, motivation, and skills for everyday coping. Outside of his professional work, he spends time with his wife and his cat Molly, enjoys running, and likes exploring new places. He recognizes the courage it takes to seek counseling and approaches each person with respect and a focus on practical progress.
