Lucy Warrington (she/her) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and earned her MSW in 2015 in clinical social work from Hunter College’s Silberman School of Social Work in New York City. Lucy received post-graduate training in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) at the Beck Institute and as part of a post-master’s certificate program in Advanced Clinical Practice at NYU’s Silver School of Social Work. Lucy also completed post-graduate training in family therapy at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in NYC. Lucy has worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples in her clinical practice. Lucy has worked with clients on presenting issues that include anxiety, depression, trauma, school/academic issues, and relationship problems. Her approach to providing therapy is collaborative and strengths-based. Lucy’s theoretical orientation to therapy is informed by psychodynamic training and systems theory, and by the theories that ground CBT and related types of therapies. Lucy tends to use CBT and more action-oriented therapies because she knows this kind of therapy has proven to be very effective and it fits well with a collaborative approach to therapy.
