About Dale
Dale Winchell is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. He holds LCSW and LCSW-C credentials and has three years of clinical experience. He focuses on clear, practical strategies for people dealing with low mood, worry, and stress.
Dale aims to help people untangle upsetting thought patterns and build daily coping skills. He uses straightforward approaches to address depression, anxiety, ADHD, and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing relationship strain, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and career or life changes.
How Dale works
He has worked in an Intensive Outpatient Program where he supported people with more severe symptoms of depression and anxiety. That experience shaped his ability to manage crisis-prone situations while still focusing on steady progress. He does not specialize in addictions or substance use treatment and will recommend another provider when that is the main concern.
Dale describes his style as compassionate and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical tools, problem-solving, and clearer communication. He adapts techniques to each person's needs and pace.
People can expect a nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult feelings and try new ways of coping. Dale helps clients track small changes and build routines that reduce distress over time. He works with therapists and other professionals when coordinated care makes sense.

How CBT and DBT work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps people change patterns that keep anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem in place by teaching concrete skills for daily life.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is useful for strong mood swings, impulsivity, and relationship conflict because it combines acceptance skills with actionable behavior changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. Sessions can shift between methods as progress is made and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, skill practice, and ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
