Online Therapy in New York
Therapy for Moms in the Adirondacks
For moms whose towns are far apart, whose work changes with the seasons and whose own needs keep waiting.
Who This Is For
Who I see from the Adirondacks
I offer video therapy to moms across the Adirondack region, from Lake Placid and Saranac Lake to Old Forge and the Lake George area. When the next town is a long drive away, fitting in one more appointment can feel out of reach.
I am Michelle Riganti, LMSW. I have more than 20 years of experience in social work, and I am raising four kids of my own. I want to hear what your week looks like in every season, not only the version visitors see.
The Everyday Load
What life here can add to the load
Long drives in every direction
School, work, a pediatrician or a grocery run can each take a real piece of the day. Winter roads can make the same trip longer and harder to plan.
Seasonal work
Summer visitors, fall leaf season and winter sports can mean long hours for a few months and a much quieter stretch after. The family routine may shift every time the season does.
Connection takes planning
When friends live a long drive away, staying in touch can take as much planning as everything else. Feeling lonely can sit right next to loving where you live.
The one people count on
In a small community, the same few people often run the school event, help a neighbor and look after family. If you are one of them, saying no can feel almost impossible.
A Little Room for You
What we work on
Parenting stress, worry and life changes are common places to begin. I ask which part of the week has become too much, then we choose one goal you can try before our next session. I know from my own family how fast everyone else's needs can crowd out yours.
How Sessions Fit
How video sessions fit an Adirondack week
Video lets us meet without another drive over the mountains. You can talk from a quiet room at home or a parked car, wherever nobody else can listen in.
Service can be patchy in parts of the region, so we test your connection before we set a time and agree on a backup plan if it drops. I offer day, evening and weekend times, so a lunch break or the hour after bedtime may work.
With CBT, we question the thought that every unmet need proves you are not doing enough. DBT skills help with strong feelings and with asking clearly for support, even when support lives far away. Your goals set the direction for our work.

Individual therapy is $175 per session, and couples and family therapy are $195 per session. A free consultation comes first, so you can ask about timing, privacy and whether video fits.
All sessions are private pay. Superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement. I am in network with Northwell Direct.
