Mary Ann Kalm, LCSW

Mary Ann Kalm is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with 21 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career concerns, and major life changes. She uses practical conversation and steady support to help people sort through what feels overwhelming right now.

In sessions she listens for the immediate problem and the day-to-day pressures that feed it. She helps people break big problems into small steps and focus on what can be tried between meetings. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, coping strategies, and realistic next steps rather than abstract theory.

Her work with grief and loss centers on naming feelings, finding ways to remember and adjust, and rebuilding routines that help daily life go forward. When anxiety or stress are the main issues, she helps identify triggers, develop simple coping tools, and practice ways to reduce the intensity of worry.

On career and self-esteem issues she supports people in clarifying values, setting boundaries, and taking practical actions that match their goals. For life transitions she focuses on practical problem solving and pacing change to reduce overload.

Mary Ann draws on two decades of practice to keep conversations straightforward and useful. She asks clear questions, suggests small experiments, and checks progress each visit so work moves forward in a measurable way.
