FEDERICA DAVOLIO, lCsw

Federica Davolio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual and couples therapy to adults navigating life transitions, anxiety and mood difficulties, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and the effects of grief, loss and trauma. She welcomes clients from all backgrounds and identities.

Federica works from an integrative, relational, psychodynamic perspective, helping clients understand how their patterns of relating, thinking and responding developed — and how to find new ways forward. Her approach is warm, collaborative and grounded. She values emotional depth, while attending to what is practical and helpful in daily life. She is trained in EMDR and uses it to help process memories and experiences that feel stuck or overwhelming. She also integrates mindfulness-based practices to support new ways of coping. Her goal is to offer a space where clients can gain perspective, reconnect with themselves and move forward with confidence and direction.

Federica often works with people who are carrying significant responsibility, navigating change or loss, or seeking greater intention and clarity in their lives. She brings particular sensitivity to the emotional complexities of cultural transition and cross-cultural experience, including questions of belonging, identity, language and adaptation.

Federica earned her Master’s degree in Social Work from Fordham University and has years of clinical experience providing individual, couple and family therapy at Family Services of Westchester, where she worked with children, adolescents, and adults addressing depression, anxiety, ADHD, complex relational patterns, and trauma. She is currently a candidate at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, where she continues advanced training in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy.

Prior to clinical practice, Federica completed a Master’s degree in Communication studies at the University of Bologna and a PhD in Sociology at the University of Milan, and spent several years in academia — a background that continues to inform her clinical work, deepening her attention to context, meaning, and the broader relational and social environments shaping experience.

Federica offers therapy in English and Italian, both in person and via telehealth.
