Marianne Kaukiainen-Russo, LMHC

Do you need practical tools to manage anxiety, constant worry, and intrusive thoughts? Are you feeling stuck, burned out, or struggling with emotional control in your personal life and intimate relationships? If this sounds like you, help is available. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering 100% virtual therapy across New York. I work with adults and young professionals who are driven toward personal growth but are currently navigating complex issues related to finding purpose, managing stress, and building satisfying relationships. Many of my clients are accomplished; however, they frequently struggle with self-doubt, high-functioning anxiety, or a persistent sense that their life is not fully aligned with their authentic self. It’s hard to be a good partner, parent, or professional when your mind is constantly bracing for the worst. Whether you are battling persistent anxiety, white-knuckle burnout, or a growing distance in your relationship, you deserve a space where you can finally breathe. My approach is practical and action-oriented. While we explore where these patterns come from, our primary focus is giving you real tools to reduce worry, quiet the loop of rumination, and set healthy boundaries. In addition to collaborative talk therapy, I offer standalone Brainspotting sessions for clients who feel they’ve hit a plateau in traditional talk therapy and want a practical, somatic approach to reset their nervous system at a deeper level. You don't have to figure this out alone. Whether you’re looking to calm your mind or save your relationship, the first step is a conversation. Request a free 15-minute consultation through my calendar, and let's get your brain some breathing room.
