About Eva

Eva Hoffman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults facing grief, depression, trauma, and major life changes. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for someone juggling busy days and worries.

She uses a mix of listening-based and action-oriented methods. Sessions focus on what a person is struggling with now and what they want to change. Eva draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Background and approach

Clients also may use Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and increase motivation for change. Eva blends these approaches to help people cope with family stress, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and related issues. She pays attention to histories that shape current patterns, including family of origin and experiences of abandonment.

With five years of practice as an LCSW in New York, she has worked with people navigating chronic illness, cancer caregiving, adoption and foster care questions, and the fallout from domestic violence or abuse. Her sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what helps a person feel safer and more capable. People who choose her can expect a collaborative process.

She helps set clear goals and checks in about progress. The aim is to leave therapy with usable skills for daily life and clearer ways to handle stress and anxiety.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. It helps people feel heard and helps the therapist shape sessions around the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches tools to try different responses; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused method that helps people clarify what they want and find the motivation to make changes.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, exploring past patterns, or short-term goal work, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping focus on real-world change and coping skills.
