About Maryann
Maryann Kenney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Maryann works with people facing significant life transitions and emotional strain related to health, work, and loss.
She spends sessions helping clients name pressing problems and set manageable goals. Conversations focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, isolation and emptiness, and issues that arise with chronic illness or cancer.
Maryann has long experience supporting older adults, women, and young professionals dealing with workplace stress and questions of life purpose. She also understands the pressures that can affect journalists and photojournalists. Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling and work with people facing bereavement and caregiving strain.
In session she outlines options, practices concrete skills, and revisits what’s working. She pays attention to communication problems, dependency patterns, dissociation, and the practical effects of chronic pain and disability. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better daily functioning.
People typically leave sessions with step-by-step ideas they can try between meetings. To begin she asks about current priorities and recent changes, then suggests a plan that fits the client’s day-to-day responsibilities. Maryann works in English and accepts international clients; please confirm session formats before scheduling.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Maryann draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill-building and symptom reduction. One common method involves teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, such as breathing strategies, activity scheduling, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These techniques help reduce immediate distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses approaches that address trauma and attachment by helping clients track patterns in relationships and bodily reactions. Work in this area often centers on recognizing triggers, grounding in the present, and rehearsing new ways to communicate or set boundaries. For grief and end-of-life concerns she focuses on meaning-making and managing practical caregiving stresses alongside emotional processing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maryann collaborates with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan as progress is observed. That collaborative process helps match therapeutic tools to the client’s needs, schedule, and comfort level.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and permit shorter check-ins when needed. Some clients prefer video for face-to-face conversation, while others choose audio for lower bandwidth or to keep the visit brief; discuss practical preferences when you schedule the first appointment.
