Who I Am & How I Work
I’m Shiran Glass, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering therapy to adults in Long Beach and online across New York State. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and those stretches of life where you just don’t feel like yourself.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation. My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative — I won’t just sit back and listen while you do all the work. I’ll ask questions, share observations, help you notice patterns, and work with you to find practical ways through what’s happening in your life.
Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, or a stretch of life where they just don’t feel like themselves. Maybe you’re overthinking everything, feeling overwhelmed by things you used to handle easily, low on motivation, or knowing what you “should” do but struggling to actually do it. Therapy gives us space to understand what’s driving those feelings — and to work on what actually helps.
Finding the right therapist matters. If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I offer a free 15-minute consultation — a relaxed, no-pressure call to talk through what’s bringing you in and see if we’re a good fit.

Support for Life's Everyday Concerns
Anxiety & Stress
Sometimes you know something isn't quite right, even if you can't pinpoint exactly what needs to change. You may feel anxious or overwhelmed, caught up in your own thoughts, or on edge more often than you'd like.
Depression & Low Mood
Depression isn't always just sadness — it can feel like exhaustion, low motivation, or disconnection from yourself and the world. Maybe you're sleeping too much or too little, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, or finding everyday tasks harder than they should be. Together we make sense of what's going on and work toward feeling more like yourself again.
Life Transitions
Even changes you chose can leave you feeling unsteady. A new job, a move, becoming a parent, a divorce, the loss of someone close, or simply a chapter of life that feels heavier than you expected — therapy is a place to sort through it and find your footing again.
Family, Friendships & Connection
The relationships in our lives — family, friendships, work, or a partner — can be a real source of stress. Maybe you're stuck in old patterns with your family of origin, having a hard time setting boundaries, navigating conflict at work, or feeling disconnected from the people who matter. Therapy is a place to understand what's happening and build steadier, healthier ways of relating.

Your First Session & How We Work Together
I have chosen to operate as an out-of-network provider to prioritize your privacy and the quality of your care:
- No Mandatory Diagnosis: Insurance companies typically require a formal mental health diagnosis to authorize payment. In this practice, you are not a diagnosis, and we can work together without a permanent label on your medical record.
- Complete Privacy: Private pay ensures that your treatment records and progress notes remain confidential between us, rather than being shared with insurance auditors.
- Personalized Care: We—not an insurance company—determine the frequency, duration, and type of therapy that is best for your unique healing journey.
Your First Therapy Experience & Path Forward
A relaxed first conversation where we talk through what's bringing you in and what you're hoping for. No pressure to have it all figured out — together we start building a picture of what's going on and where you'd like to go next.
Understanding Your History & Goals
We explore your history, experiences, and personal goals to create a foundation that feels safe, grounded, and aligned with what you're hoping for. Together we find the right approach and make the process supportive and tailored to you.
Personalized, Out-of-Network Care
No mandatory diagnosis, complete confidentiality, and treatment shaped by you — not an insurance company. We offer a supportive, personalized approach with sliding scale options available and superbills provided for potential reimbursement.
Continuous, Personalized Support
Frequency, duration, and therapy type are tailored to your unique healing journey and personal needs. Each session is thoughtfully designed around your goals, with regular check-ins to ensure your progress is supported, guided, and cared for every step of the way.
Trusted, Private, Personalized Care

Answers to Your Mental Health Questions
Do you accept insurance?
No — this practice is out-of-network to protect your privacy and keep care personalized. I can provide a monthly superbill for potential reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
What are your payment options?
All major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, Zelle, and cash are accepted at time of service. Sliding scale available.
Who is this practice best suited for?
Adolescents and adults who are functioning day-to-day but feel overwhelmed, reactive, chronically stressed, or stuck in patterns insight hasn’t resolved.
What happens in the first session?
It’s a relaxed, collaborative conversation. We talk through what’s bringing you in and what’s been hard lately, and start building a plan that fits your goals. No pressure to have it all figured out beforehand
What if I've never been to therapy before?
That’s completely okay — you don’t need any experience or a clear plan. We start with what’s happening right now and figure out the rest together.
Is this practice right for everyone?
Not always — active psychosis, severe substance dependence needing detox, court-mandated therapy, acute psychiatric crises, and primary treatment for compulsive sexual behavior fall outside this scope. Referrals to appropriate resources are provided.
