Summary

We offer options at Citron Hennessey Therapy if you’re searching for therapy in Southampton. You can meet with a therapist through secure online therapy if you live at an address in New York State, which is often the simplest way to stay consistent without the travel time.

If you’re searching for therapy in Southampton, you’re probably trying to find support to fit your real life. Maybe stress is affecting your sleep and focus. Maybe you feel stuck, disconnected or like you’re running on empty. Maybe you’re functional on the outside, but internally, things feel harder than they should.

At Citron Hennessey Therapy, we serve communities across New York, including Southampton. We offer two ways of starting. One is a secure online therapy across New York State. The other is in-person therapy in Manhattan.

Below, you’ll get a clear sense of what therapy can potentially help with, how our practice approaches treatment and what it looks like to start and find the right fit for you.

Therapy in Southampton: What It Can Help With

People start therapy for different reasons, but the common thread is often the same: something isn’t working, and you’re looking for a better way to handle it. At Citron Hennessey Therapy, our services and focus areas include:

Anxiety and stress
Depression
Anger
OCD
Perfectionism
Grief
Couples therapy and relationship concerns
Trauma
LBGTQ+ issues
Therapy for college students

Our practice blends modern, evidence-based counseling with tools that help you navigate life more effectively, operate better at work, and build stronger, healthier relationships. Our sessions focus on practical solutions for the present while also offering insight into how the past may still be influencing your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.

If you’re looking for therapy that’s structured and goal-oriented, that framing matters. It means you’re not only talking about what hurts, but you’re also working toward specific changes you can actually notice and feel in your day-to-day life.

Generally, therapy is most effective when you’re in the right level of care for what you’re dealing with. If your symptoms are severe or you think you may need specialized support beyond weekly outpatient therapy, it’s important to let us know early on so you can get matched appropriately.

Personalized Therapy Options for Southampton Residents

Online therapy for Southampton and When It Makes Sense

If you live in Southampton, one of the simplest ways to get started is with online therapy. For online therapy at Citron Hennessey, you need a New York State address. Online sessions can become a practical option for people who want consistency without adding travel time.

Online therapy is structured as face-to-face sessions, and we use HIPAA-compliant, secure, encrypted sessions. You can use a phone or tablet as long as you have an internet connection and a working webcam and microphone.

In-person sessions in Manhattan, If You Want Face-to-Face Care

If you prefer meeting in person, we offer therapy at our Manhattan office, near Chelsea, Flatiron, NoMad and Union Square. We begin with a brief intake, after which we recommend a therapist and an approach that fits your goals. If it’s not the right fit, we will rematch you.

We also have clients who switch between in-person sessions and secure video when needed. That can be helpful for many reasons, especially if your schedule changes week-to-week.

Therapies and Approaches That May Be Used

The approach used in your therapy sessions should match the problem you want to solve and not just a label. At Citron Hennessey, we draw on various approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and Choice Therapy, among others, and we always tailor our approach to individual needs and goals.

Why Choose Citron Hennessey Therapy For Southampton?

If you’re comparing options for therapy in Southampton, we emphasize certain practice values that are relevant. For example, we focus on fair pricing, with fees aligned with FAIRHealth, an independent nonprofit regulatory organization. Other focuses include client satisfaction with treatment, quality control and fit. We work hard to find the right fit for you in a therapist, and you can speak with them anytime about the progress of your care.

We also offer referral access to specialists, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and other experts when appropriate.

We are an accredited training provider for many leading New York graduate schools and emphasize modern guidance-based results-oriented therapy.

Cost, Insurance and Scheduling Basics

If you’re considering therapy in Southampton, logistics matter because they determine if you can actually stay consistent.

First, as far as insurance, Citron Hennessey works with most PPO plans and some POS plans as an out-of-network provider. We recommend reaching out to us to check benefits, and we can explain any out-of-pocket costs before you begin.

Without insurance, the costs vary per session, depending on the therapist you choose. If cost is otherwise a barrier, we also offer an advanced clinical training program option.

Your first appointment will typically last one hour. Other sessions are around 50 minutes long. Therapy is most effective if you meet weekly, especially at the start, because repetition helps new skills stick.

While we don’t prescribe medication at Citron Hennessey Therapy, we work closely with vetted, approved psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners when appropriate.

How to Start Therapy in Southampton

We use a short questionnaire to learn what you want to work on, which helps us match you with the right therapist. After a brief intake, we’ll recommend a therapist and approach to fit your goals. If it’s not a fit at first, we’ll rematch you.

If you want to stay local to Southampton, online therapy, as mentioned, can be the easiest way to stay consistent, but if you prefer in-person, that’s also available in Manhattan.

What types of therapy do you use?

We use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, rational-emotive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and Choice Theory with Reality Therapy.
