Amy Cirbus, PhD, is a licensed mental health counselor in New York City and a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey.

She now sees clients in her private practice and on the Talkspace platform and says demand is definitely up during the pandemic.
“Ultimately, you need a safe, nonjudgmental space to work on mental health issues,” she says. “If that starts with your doctor, great. And if you can find that through online or virtual therapy, that is a step in the right direction.”Experts stress that in an ideal world, you should have a therapist if you need one, and they urge people to keep looking for one, even if it’s hard.
Focus on just one thing at a time rather than trying to make many changes to your life at once, she says. No one thing in isolation will solve your problems, but it could be the first step to giving you more control over your day and perhaps a little space in your life to slow down and not feel overwhelmed. That could be going for a short walk each day, eating dinner as a family, or having a dance party when the school day ends.
Prioritize sleep. Get 7 to 8 hours every night. “That is the glue that keeps our mood, stress levels, and concentration under control,” McBride says. Focus on good nutrition. Eat healthy foods, and avoid skipping meals, which only promotes binge eating later. Aim for a balanced diet that includes proteins, carbs, and fruits and vegetables.
