Denise Snyder, LCSW

Denise Snyder is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 31 years of professional experience. Her background spans multiple care settings, including work within the mental health system, the public school system, an employee assistance program, an inpatient alcohol rehabilitation center, and the foster care system. Over the course of her career she has supported people facing stress and anxiety, depression, eating and food-related issues, loss and grief, relationship difficulties, anger management, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and challenges with assertiveness.

Her clinical approach draws on a combination of evidence-informed methods such as solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and family systems work. She emphasizes meeting each person where they are, offering respectful support, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Denise frames clients as the experts of their own stories and looks to their existing strengths as resources to overcome obstacles.

Denise recognizes that making life changes can feel uncomfortable and acknowledges that growth often requires stepping outside oneâs comfort zone. Speaking from both professional training and personal experience as a wife and a mother of two grown children, she aims to guide people through transitions with practical strategies and compassionate encouragement. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life requires courage; Denise provides steady support throughout that process.

Outside of her clinical work, Denise enjoys outdoor activities such as kayaking and hiking, is an avid reader, and cares deeply for animals. She shares her home with two rescue dogs, including a retired greyhound now enjoying a relaxed retirement.
