Dale Winchell, LCSW, MD, LCSW-C

Dale Winchell is a licensed therapist based in New York who also holds a Maryland license. He holds LCSW and LCSW-C credentials, which denote Licensed Clinical Social Worker designations, and the MD listing indicates his Maryland licensure. He specializes in helping people examine and shift distorted thought patterns, with a clinical focus on depression, anxiety, stress, attention-deficit challenges, borderline personality traits, and self-esteem concerns.

His background includes work in an Intensive Outpatient Program, where he supported individuals experiencing more severe depression and anxiety symptoms. He is transparent about the limits of his practice and does not claim specialized training in addictions or substance use treatment - he will recommend another provider when those concerns are the primary focus, while still offering support for co-occurring mental health symptoms.

Dale's style is compassionate and collaborative, aimed at developing practical strategies for personal growth. He attends to mood regulation, impulsivity, and interpersonal dynamics, and he works with clients facing isolation or family conflict to strengthen emotional resilience. He brings a non-judgmental, supportive stance and tailors therapeutic techniques to individual needs with the goal of helping clients explore experiences, build coping skills, and progress toward greater emotional well-being.
