About Helen
LCSW in New Jersey with 30 years of clinical experience, Helen Castiglione focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. She works directly with people to clarify problems and set practical goals. Sessions emphasize clear conversation and workable steps rather than jargon.
Helen uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and mindfulness practices. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior, and tries out small changes that often make daily life easier. Work may include learning specific skills for managing strong emotions, practicing new ways of communicating, and building routines that support attention and confidence.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. Helen encourages honest talk about feelings and the behaviors that keep problems going. She offers feedback, teaches coping skills, and checks progress against goals each week.
Helen has decades of experience across different care settings. That background informs a practical approach when problems span relationships, caregiving, aging concerns, or neurodiversity. She attends to how stress affects thinking, behavior, and relationships, and helps people map steps to reduce that strain.
People who are considering therapy can expect clear discussion of priorities, and collaborative planning of next steps. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to outline goals and an initial plan.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It suits issues like anxiety, low motivation, and relationship dilemmas by focusing on what matters and small behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thinking patterns and behaviors that fuel stress and anxiety; it often includes short exercises and homework to practice new skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, current problems, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Sessions can adapt over time if a different approach fits better. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on stressful days, and limit travel time. It also lets the therapist assign brief practice tasks between visits and review progress in the next meeting. If you prefer a particular session rhythm or length, mention it during the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.Sheet 3
