About Yana
Yana Gaykov brings twenty years of social work practice to her work in New York. She is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her style is straightforward and supportive.
She encourages clients to notice their existing strengths and to use those strengths to move forward. Yana sees many practical concerns at the center of distress. She helps people talk through parenting pressures, burnout, grief, and life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues like addiction, sleep and eating concerns, anger, and challenges with intimacy. Her experience includes working with mood disorders and the ongoing strain that caregiving or chronic illness can bring. In sessions she keeps language simple and concrete.
Conversations often focus on immediate problems, patterns that maintain those problems, and steps a person can try between meetings. Yana aims to make goals clear and manageable so progress feels real and doable. She also pays attention to how culture and life transitions shape problems.
Topics such as adoption and foster care, aging, pregnancy and childbirth, multicultural concerns, and midlife shifts are part of her background. This helps when practical life demands intersect with emotional strain. Yana offers several remote ways to connect, including video, phone, chat, and text messaging.
People who want a steady, pragmatic approach to handling stress and relational issues may find her approach helpful.

Online support
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Yana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and trying practical changes. One common approach helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going, then test small experiments to change them; this is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression. Another approach emphasizes building on strengths and coping skills to manage life transitions, caregiving strain, or recovery from loss and trauma; it centers on what a person already does well and expands those strategies.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist and client talk about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick approaches that fit the person and their daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief progress notes, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking. These options support continuing work through busy schedules and life changes.
