Helen Castiglione, LCSW

Helen Castiglione is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in New Jersey with 30 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, motivation, and self-esteem. She commonly addresses issues related to ADHD and supports people navigating relationship and family tensions. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, try different responses, and build small skills that change how problems play out. Work often focuses on concrete goals like managing worry, improving communication, and increasing confidence.

Helen uses strategies such as thought tracking, behavioral experiments, and values-based action to move toward clear priorities. She also incorporates grounding and mindfulness exercises when stress or strong emotions interfere with problem solving. Sessions tend to emphasize doable actions between meetings and short-term techniques people can use right away.

With many years of practice, Helen brings experience working across adult life stages, including concerns tied to aging and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with autism spectrum issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and self-harm thoughts by focusing on coping skills and clearer communication.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and are paid through a cancel-anytime subscription model.
