Corey McSweeney, LCSW

Corey McSweeney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with nine years of professional experience. He practices in private settings after earlier work at a county mental health clinic. Corey helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, anger, ADHD, trauma and grief.

Corey keeps his approach straightforward. He emphasizes building a working rapport first. He uses a mix of client-centered listening, practical exercises, and conversational interventions to help people manage symptoms and day-to-day problems.

Sessions are described as structured but flexible. Corey encourages honest feedback about the process and adjusts his style to fit each person's communication preferences. He sometimes shares personal reflections when he judges that it will help clarify an issue or model a different way of responding.

Corey lists a wide range of common concerns he has helped people with, including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attention difficulties, anger and motivation problems, grief, and trauma-related symptoms. He notes experience with behavioral addictions and some personality disorder presentations, while recommending specialized care for areas outside his core focus when appropriate.

Practical matters are part of his work. He asks people to be upfront about their commitments and what they can do between sessions. That helps him set realistic goals and short-term steps. He aims to make sessions productive and direct, with room for honest, sometimes plainspoken conversation.
